MMC,
Great to hear, Both My D's went to the same High school as me but... When I went there it was only a year old. It has really changed since then. I would not be able to find my old locker becasue for some weird reason here in california they took most of the lockers away. Now all the kid have to drag around 50 lb back packs.
Ya I have noticed that my W's PMA has improved since our "talk" a week ago. I think she does feel less presured about us right now so she can concintrate on finding a job. As I was going to bed last night I heard son ask her for something and she said no becasue we have no Money. He asked why and she said becasue she needs to find a job. But..... the way she said it was diferant. I don't know how to explain it but it was a "reality" tone. Not a "panic / stressed" tone. About the tractor. When I was in high school I loved driving that tractor so much that I used to work for free on my uncle's ranch as long as it involved driving it.
If you are ever out this way I'll let ya have a turn....

Later
Husband

And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
