Happy New Year to you too! Let us know how the mediation went and keep posting. It's good for you. I'm glad your SIL is in your corner, and glad you're assuming anything you say could be shared with W. Sorry you're in this situation, but keep DB'g. Anything's possible.
Yes, I feel lucky to be in CO. I haven't hiked many 14ers but maybe I need to add this to my bucket list. I bet there's some good climbing in CA; Yosemite, right?
