Sucks taking Christmas down, but we drank a toast to the tree and to a happy year when we got done, and it made things better.

Bring on basketball! Let's go Duke!

If you miss your tree, you are welcome to come over here and look at mine. I'm leaving it up for Sam's visit. We're going to celebrate Christmas into mid-January. (emphasis on the celebration part!) I have missed my babies. I haven't seen Sam since June.

That is cool! I know you'll be thrilled to see Sam. How is college going for him?

Yay for the mid-January Christmas celebration! I'm happy that you'll have both of your boys there. Have a wonderful visit!

That's way to long. I'm glad he can come, even if later than Christmas.

Congrats to Sam, and for you guys combined! Not that I was anywhere close to a 3.5 in ANY semester at Duke, because I wasn't. Well, maybe one, but not that close.

Would that be the 1.5 or the 2.5 semester?

I've never noticed it, but I wonder if they ever consider a celebration of Colonel Sanders' birthday?

Well, it's not Duke, but it is college, and the fact that Sam managed to do so well in his first semester warms my heart.

And I'm only kidding about Sam's doing better than ExLax and me combined. ExLax may have done better than a .75 his first semester, but not much! He and I both struggled mightily in our first two years of college. I'm so glad that our child seems to have figured out how to make it work for him.
