Glad to hear he is settled in.

There is nothing wrong with buying yourself a Birthday present if it makes you happy. And if you are singing you at least are happy. Your kids will appreciate that singing one day.

Don't get upset if they bail on the Christmas movie though. HA HA Mine would do the same.

I love the Winter over any season. It does make me blue and I do get depressed more than any other season but I still love it. I spent from Fall through Spring in Ottawa alone one year and it was by far the best Winter I have ever had.

Try to put up something that twinkles.
