Martin Luther King Jr. Day
“I have a Dream” by Martin Luther King Jr
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
…
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”
…
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
…
Whose words continue to have meaning today.

DynDNS has donated $20,000 to the PerlFoundation, as reported over at use Perl;. Like the comment:
Don’t know about you guys, but this astounds me. A volunteer-run, user donation-supported organization funding volunteers for a free software project.
Puts the corporate world to shame.
Which reminds me I should be sending both a donation.

The crying husband
For some reason I just had to share this one.
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
“What’s the matter, dear?”, she whispers as she steps into the room, “Why are you down here at this time of night?”.
The husband looks up from his coffee, “Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?” he asks solemnly.
“Yes I do” she replies.
The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily. “Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?”
“Yes, I remember” says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continues. “Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, either you marry my daughter, or I’ll send you to jail for 20 years?”
He wipes another tear from his cheek and says, “I would have gotten out today”.
