New Years Day

[1892 - Ellis Island Immigration Station opens for business]

[1962 - Navy SEAL teams established]

Can Do

A man can do the best he can
With what he has at hand.
More than this no other man should ask,
Nor any God demand.

Or, as Nkosi Johnson, a twelve year old African boy soon to die of AIDS, (who is featured in a new book by ABC newsman Jim Wooten), put it:

Do all you can
With what you have
In the time you have
In the place you are.

Poor William's Whimsical Words:

It is better to give all you have than to receive more than you can handle.
