Karate Guy sounds wonderful - hope that is so in person.
Yes the East is VERY snowy. It is crazy here - Josh has decided to come from Toronto by train tommorrow rather than risk driving in the white stuff. That is UNUSUAL!
Are the kids on a non-stop flight? That would be best since it is not likely to take off if they suspect weather problems at the other end.
And just a thought - if my ex were transferred across the country - I'd be in a state of total euphoria. I know its best for the kids for dad to be nearby but not having to see him weekly would be wonderful, don't you think?
