We finally got around to baking Eddie a cake. Cameron and Megan, from across the street, helped Eddie and I decorate the cake. Eddie wanted a red velvet cake this year, with white icing. Unfortunately, we iced it when it was still too warm, and it ended up a speckledy pink. And the blue balloons turned out looking like tadpoles... or worse.
Oh well. It still tasted good.
"If we are to have peace on earth ... our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1967
