Well, on the plus side, we're doing well. Suppose I should say that sometimes!

- Teenager got super-early admittance to college to take some courses while still in highschool.
- Pre-teen got IPRCed to an academically gifted program.
- Both have made some very nice friends here.
- I have the coolest kitten in the world!
- I got invited to speak at a very prestigious international conference in my field.
- I have some very nice work friends. And some outside work girlfriends who want to get together and do some fun things.
- I'm OK financially, at least for now.
- WH does miss me and is very helpful when he's not being an MLCer.
