What an amazing story -- of the pilot who landed the crippled US Airways jet in the middle of the Husdon river opposite midtown Manhattan yesterday afternoon, of every single passenger and crew member being rescued, with only a small number even needing to be hospitalized.

I have been thinking of them this morning. Did any of them get any sleep? As they have seen the light of morning, are they thankful for this first bonus day of life that has been given to them?

Their every day of life, from now on, will be a bonus.
