12/27/10 (HELPING US OUT ELECTRONICALLY) oy! WE MISS HIM.

Did he just redeem the card on your user account, or did he buy songs? Either way, he should just be able to have them pulled up. Pull up iTunes (make sure you´re signed in on the iTunes Store with the account you bought them on), then go to the top, click ¨Store¨or ¨purchases¨ or something (might have to go through all the pull down windows) and look for ¨Check for Purchased Songs¨. Then click it, and it should allow it to download. If not...well it´d be pretty hard to explain how to do it over an e-mail. Not impossible, but we´ll try this first.

Oops...not sure why I hit send. Sorry.

Scripture is Proverbs 23: 13-14

 13Withhold not ^acorrection from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
 14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Or, there´s this in Proverbs 13:
24He that spareth his ^arod hateth his son: but he that loveth him ^bchasteneth him betimes(aka sometimes).
It´s a good thing that the book of Proverbs isn´t solid doctrine, right?

So, full year schedule...what evilness. I´m so glad I got the schooling old style. Back before we had these fancy computer reading programs. Why, in my day, we had to use a pencil! And the teacher actually looked at your paper! And we had to do these stupid ´probes´....

Ahh, the old Anchor Baby debate. Silly Congress.
18% is still not to bad compared to the 30+ that it is here. But for the US...it´s madness.
Still, the rate of spending will probably slow down here pretty soon. There might have to come government wide shutdowns when budgets don´t get passed, but we´ll probably have a few more years than three or four. Though, more unemployment=less taxes brought in=more stupid taxes on rich=less jobs=less taxes...and the cycle continues. Sometimes I wonder if any of those goons took Algebra 1.

Sorry this letter seems short. We did just talk.
We´re going to get in some Phase 10 and Skip-Bo today. And I was crazy enough to finally break down and buy some real maple syrup...five euros later. Ouch.

I´ll have a better letter next week. promise.
Bradley.
