Sincere Congratulations

Congrats Blog is going to get serious (as she can be) and offer her sincerest congratulations to the Changs who delivered Kalina Grace Jia-li Chang yesterday evening. Weighing in a 7lb 8oz 19in. She's a lucky girl to be born to such great parents. Thinking through all the things she could rebel on later in life, I fear that hating hockey would be the worst such offense. Perish the thought!

Also, CB would like to congratulate my friend Jule's son, Nicholas, who was nominated to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) in DC, which helps scholars develop and sharpen their leadership skills by examining the leaders of the past and empowering them to make a positive social impact in their community and the world. Learn more about it here.

I remember my middle school trip to Washington, DC. Rockin' on the bus to Foreigner's JukeBox hero, flirting with boys at Lincoln's gi-normous feet and playing some weird breathing game in the hotel rooms where you make yourself hyperventilate until you felt high and almost passed out. "My turn now, you went twice!!" Nope, no leadership skills developed on that trip.

So...sarcasm mostly in check for this post. What is the CB, if not to congratulate?

Speaking of which, if you, dear reader, would like to congratulate someone/thing, you can either send CB your request or your "guest blogger" prose to congratsblog@gmail.com.

Happy weekend!
