Gideon Strauss is singing O Happy Day today.

He and his wife are celebrating an anniversary.

The weather outside today is and remains at 3:21 pm, deliteful!

The simple musing concise appreciation of the hopeful news from Iraq wafts thru everything today as a subtext of hope for the world.

Clickup my headline above, read Gideon's brief summary of a day for him-and-his quite blessed. No less so because this day includes the news of what appears to me to be a world-historical event where the first Arab national democracy, all preliminaries observed, took its first steps in a country-wide vote. So, after reading Gideon, clickup the Comments for his blog-entry for today, and read my Comment offered to them as an anniversary present, in response to Gideon. - )wlb
