Jason Wyatt Ross

From Douglas L Ross' Weblog
My youngest son Jason and his wife Christy just had their first child. His name is Jason Wyatt Ross and he was born Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at about 2:00pm at the Emory John's Creek hospital in John's Creek, Georgia. Little Wyatt was a healthy 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long. He's just about the cutiest newborn you've ever seen.

Mother and son are doing just great and so is my son, the new daddy. We're very proud of them all and we wish Jason and Christy the very best as they embark on the life adventure of parenthood with little Wyatt.

I thought President Obama's inaugural speech was a little disappointing when read for substance from afar, although I can imagine that it might have seemed more uplifting in person. I think the Wall Street Journal got it right in their pre -inaugural " The Opacity of Hope " editorial as they concluded: "The complicated nature of our world means that every modern Presidency is to some extent a leap into the unknown. Mr. Obama's meteoric rise makes him a bigger leap than most. We don't know if he is a genuine man of the left, or a more traditional pragmatist. The audacity of our hope is that as President he will use his considerable talents to return his party to the policies of growth, opportunity and the vigorous defense of U.S. interests that marked it the last time the country had such great expectations for a Democratic President -- under JFK." To me, Obama didn't start well with his first official act being this rather vague and plainly accusa...

Review: Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Having read only snippets and never a complete biography of Leonardo da Vinci before, I have no basis of comparison from which to judge the accuracy of Isaacson's beautifully written account of Leonardo's life. Assuming it's accurate, Isaacson's account leaves no doubt that; the man was a true genius, he led a fascinating life much of which was enabled by being born near the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe and he was fortunate to have been associated with so many other brilliant characters. The only minor issue I had with the book was not always being able to tell exactly what the current scholarly research consensus is about the many mysteries of Leonardo's life versus Isaacson's opinion. The book is well worth reading. View all my reviews

The Wikipedia Article Police

I was born in Centertown, Kentucky. It's a small town (about 400 people, which is the same as the population in 1946 when I was born there). The town was incorporated in 1890 and the Centertown Baptist Church was established in 1907. I attended the 100th anniversery ceremony at the Church two weeks ago. It was a moving experience. One of the things that made it a moving experience is that I got to see so many people I've known all my life and hadn't seen in many years. It also brought back many great memories. My earliest recollection of the Church was nicely captured in the picture below of myself and my cousin Marilyn Morton at about the age of seven (1953) taken in the Centertown Church at my Aunt Junita Ross' wedding to Reed Renier. Afterward the Centertown celebration, I checked Wikipedia to see if anybody had posted an article about what I considered to be this significant historical event. Besides being 100 years old, the Centertown Baptist Church structure is al...
