It's funny you say that. I just visited a good friend of mine in Atlanta, he is a big brother to this little hispanic boy with the nicest mother. Sunday afternoon we went and watched the kid's hockey game. I can tell it makes my buddy feel really good to give this kid a positive male role model... even though my buddy's not perfect... I know this... but the little kid doesn't.

I also was thinking of adopting a kitten. I never liked cats, thought I was allergic, until I started dating my ex... fell in love with hers. It's part cougar, a little bad ***. We had many territory disputes

Thanks for the advice. I've been pondering volunteering somewhere, and I think this is a perfect time for it.
