After a day of following the pursuit and capture of Dzhokar Tsarnaev, I need to change my frame of mind. This article about a loving dad who draws a daily cartoon on his kids' lunch bags did the trick.

David LaFerriere says he is the parent designated to make school lunches. One day he saw a Sharpie and impulsively doodled on the sandwich bags. The kids were so excited by what they found at lunch time that LaFerriere decorated the bags each day thereafter. He says, as a graphic artist, the cartoons get his creative juices going in the morning. Eventually LaFerriere began posting photos of his lunch bags on Flickr. Use this link to check out over 1,000 sandwich bags:

My favorite bags include the sandwich stamped and addressed as a letter, the sandwich sliced in half that is sutured back together, and the sandwich with the tree growing out of the top crust and the root system below, running all through the bread.
So, let's all feel the love and share the love. If you can't love, try just tolerating. Maybe Jackie DeShannon will help things along - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMj7UcjPZ0U
