Guess what our kids favorite decorations are? We are a bit more selective on the cards we keep now, and it is a lovely way to tell the kids about each and every important relationship that a card sent represents.

Excellent site here, I like your observations. Couple years ago our income dropped due to layoffs (red: fired) and my wife switching to her own business at the same time. And moving to a new house. We did it, and the discipline has been great, but I sure wish we had your site then, would have saved a lot of trouble.

If it's American football, there's so much strategy involved on each play that it's more analogous to playing chess. It stimulates my mind in a different way than other day to day activities. I do enjoy making my own beer though. Watching football is an aimless activity? If it’s American football, there’s so much strategy involved on each play that it’s more analogous to playing chess.
