Hey S, oh boy snow, I love that! I would have been right there in the snow with your kids. I am in the New York/New Jersey area, we used to have great snowstorms - but no longer (global warming and all that). I miss that!

Christmas is a wonderful time of year (albeit bittersweet when dealing with MLC). You cant help but be happy when kids are involved.

As part of my present to my 8 year old niece, we are going to the American Girl doll store for dinner. I am so excited!

Your wife will have reality hit her in the face when all is said and done and it aint gonna be pretty!

We are all a little nuts - we standers, dont you think?

I am sorry the divorce will be final soon. But I am sure in some ways that part of it being finished is a relief.

That is so cool about the Secret Santa. I love traditions like that!

You sound good, my friend. Keep up the positive attitude, treasure each moment with your children, pray for your wife and keep doing the right thing. It all pays off, I just know it.
