Thanks folks! Whatis has returned after a wonderful family evening bringing in the New Year. We went to the restaurant and it was packed yet we only waited about ten minutes for a table. We dined on Peking Duck (which kind of screwed up my vegetarian diet) and returned to STBX's to watch a movie together and then bring in the New Year. I'd dropped some party supplies over to STBX's earlier in the day. At the door STBX thanked me for the dinner and the party, she told me to drive safely as I had been drinking (ha ha, two glasses of non-alcoholic wine). It's so nice to be together as a family and especially when STBX actually talks to me as a person, the way we used to talk. I can actually tell her about events in my day or week and get some real conversation. So that about ends another holiday season, I did survive! I hope everyone else out there had a great New Years too
