Doing just fine.

I will not dwell on sad things but as another parent I can't even imagine what that was like for you and Cheryl.

Politics, no, not a lot of common ground there ;-) But that's OK. I don't mind you being wrong ;-)

The Blackhawks are one of my enjoyments in life. All our teams here suck but the Hawks. My two favorite players are Duncan Keith and Andrew Shaw. Keith, well, his reputation as one of the best defensemen in the NHL is well known. But I like Shaw just as much. He weighs about 160 pounds and constantly mixes it up. You've got to like that spirit. A bulldog.
