Folks, I want to remind you that the dingbat using the name Harold Camping, the one who had his fellow-dingbats in a terrible dither on May 21 about his promised End-of-the-World prophecy, has – predictably! – followed the formula adopted by those other “prophets” who have offered that very same scenario down through the ages; he now explains that Jesus Christ – see Google.com – really did “arrive spiritually” on that date, but since his capricious dad (and The Donald and I wanna see the birth certificate, please!) decided to spare all life on Earth the promised five terrible months of earthquakes, hurricanes, rain, even higher gas prices and continued Schwarzenegger bulletins, the world will still be ending on October 21.

Becoming a parent can be an overwhelming experience with a bewildering array of questions, decisions, and “experts” around every corner. I vividly remember returning home with my son after his birth. It was just the two of us, as my wife remained in the hospital requiring surgery. I scanned the books on our shelves and saw dozens of titles about pregnancy and birth but not a single book on baby care. We had done more research before we bought our fox terrier. We had a lot to learn.
Like most new parents, we did just fine. We live in a time with an abundance of immediately accessible and reliable information (assuming you are literate in navigating and evaluating all this information).
