    Ron, while I am no longer as active as I once was during my working years in the Emergency Room, there was a time, because we had a "late in life" little one that I did all those things too. Wife hates to cook... thank G-d she doesn't mind doing the laundry 'cause now I'm the maid...can I write myself off as a tax deduction...I have a Green Card! So I've been there done all that and I feel for you... and we don't need any of those 'other people' telling us "poor baby, don't cry" stuff...we're just having fun here. So anyway, Ron, as I look back on things I wouldn't want it any other way... the real kids have been pretty much my whole life and if I were 25 years younger, I would do it all over again...well maybe with some modifications! Gee this is fun learning how others spend their days.....we ought to do this with pictures! Well, on second thought, maybe pictures of the chids will do.

    Not sure what one considers a "late in life" little one. I didn't start a family until I was 33 and last born when I was 40...now in mid 50's and dealing with teens...and menopause all at the same time and let's not forget to mention managed healthcare woes.

    Howard are you now retired?
