My oldest son is back from an extended absense (see Prodigal Son) and is madly trying to find work. Then again so is everyone else and their brothers/cousins/siblings. It's difficult for him but I'm sure he'll find something soon.

What's unusual is how his attitude toward people has changed. Perhaps it's maturity, or perhaps it's the new location. So far, in the last three weeks, he's had not one complaint about the people in this area.

You might think that's not unusual, but this kid would complain if he was in heaven.

He must have genetically inherited that trait...from my mother!
