Obama & Castro Handshake

Peace Begins with a Smile. My Guess is that a Handshake Doesn’t Hurt Either.

I don’t know if anything will come of the infamous handshake. Nor do I know if the compromise of Grover being allowed to ride in the stroller pushed by James for 10 minutes and then carried in a cardboard box by Patrick for 10 minutes is going to change the world. However, I do think Mother Teresa is right, “peace begins with a smile,” and maybe a handshake too.
