Alex may have mentioned this to me before, and I have passed on to you if he did, but regardless I still want to share the discussion we had last night. Alex and I were shopping at Krogers and he started describing a place where souls come from before the are born. This idea is actually pretty ancient, and it is ussually called the well of souls or the Guf. He says he has been thinking about this for a while and as far as I can tell nothing really prompted it.
What I am impressed with is that this a serious point of religious philosophy to derive on your own, let alone just to be contemplating at age 7. One of nicknames for him is "Father Alex," because he always seemed to be very spiritual. I doubt that he will actually become a preist, because he is so ornery, but aren't irish preists supposed to be a wee bit ornery.

Here are the postcards that were sent to Michael and Alex's grandparents and greatgrandparents via Cardstore.com. I think of them as a mixture of public relations and propaganda. Read enough of their lives, and you can consider yourself a virtual grandparent/aunt/uncle. There are worse things.
