Hey there J -
I think all his books are pretty much the same, so you will probably get the same from this book as from the others. And being an avid reader myself, I never think of money spent on books as an indulgence, but as a necessity! When you finish reading it, then read Your Money Or Your Life by Dominguez.

Independent study is going fairly well, D did lie to me about the state of some paperwork at the end of the first month and had to pull a marathon day to get it all done by deadline, but otherwise she has been doing pretty good work and getting good feedback from her teachers (like picking out her work to read to the class etc.) which she thrives on.

S18 is getting excited about going to college, we are just waiting with baited breath this month to find out which other campuses accept him, then we will have some tough decisions to make.

S13 is doing okay - some school difficulties, related to his attention problems, but he is tolerating the restrictions on his social activities better than I expected (friends can come over, but he can't be unsupervised.)

And H and I had a nice little date the other night, went to see Sideways and then out for a bite to eat. We had kind of let our weekly date nights slip during all the recent turmoil, and that just reminded me how important it is that we make time for that.
