Parenthood

Of all the many aspects of parenting, there is nothing quite like being vomited on. My two year old daughter has a stomach bug, and I’ve been puked on multiple times in the past 24 hours or so. When they don’t feel well, children want reassurance, so they get extremely close to you when they’re ready.

It’s like the movie Parenthood, where Steve Martin’s character asks his sick daughter if she feels like she wants to throw up. She says, “OK” and then boots all over him.

sorry to hear about the baby puke :)

You might find this interesting while not surprising:

"American government propaganda efforts, such as Radio and TV Martí, reach almost no one in Cuba, while the Government Accountability Office, a congressional agency, noted in a recent report that money given in no-bid contracts to Cuban exile groups was being spent on “PlayStations, cashmere sweaters, crab meat and Godiva chocolates”."

While unpopular with politicians I think opening trade with Cuba might actually bring faster change than keeping the 50 year old embargo.

Yes, I agree. As I've argued before, the one who benefits most from the embargo is Fidel Castro.
