Hi all,

Thanks for writing. I am more than busy, and have more than enough music to listen to and weights to lift and machines to row and run on, so I'm fine in that regard. Wii: I feel for you. I went through that kind of holiday last year. It was the saddest Christmas of my life. Matilda: Maybe you're D17 (I have a D17 too!) doesn't want a tre up because she is broken hearted over her family, and isn't full of a lot of joy. Just a guess. Ah.. the money.....reality/separation/divorce DOES bite!

Now is when it starts to impact. No money for D17 to go to college, and I've been away from home for a year, and my wife is getting full pay, harardous duty pay, sepation pay, all tax free. I have "0" expenses here. She's a super-smart women. With no money left, a D who wants to go to college, and two more smart kids who can get into any college they want....and a financially devastating divorce at her fingertips, what will that do to them? I will refuse to live like I did last year----in a garage apartment with no stove.....NFW!
