After a really rough year, my wife and I got a few small bits of good news so we built a fire and danced around it.

You are lucky to have a good woman around. I don't think I could have faced all this alone. I told my wife in all seriousness that if I had to be miserable, I can't think of anyone else that I'd rather be miserable with. When we lean on each other we fit together pretty good.

Glad to hear your bro is at AA. He did make a good choice there.

I know how you feel about your MIL. Mine has had to go live with one of her daughters. In spite of MIL stories I've always loved mine, too.

That's really too bad about your Aunt and her husband. Nothing to do there except pick up the pieces and go on.

The people here have been through it and are no strangers to trouble. Great bunch of guys and gals. I've had to dump on them and I wasn't sorry.
