Sounds like the Wisconsin weather is not as brutal as usual, Izzo. How is your Mrs. feeling?

Wife is doing about the same. Treatment seems to be holding the big C back for now.

Took the kids to the playground a few blocks away. Let them play for an hour and a half.

Came back, put up a shelf in Benjamin's room for him to put his action figures on.

While I was working on that, my sister called and our Aunt (Mom's sister) called and was trying to dredge up old family business and upset her quite a bit. I called her but she didn't answer so I left her a VM telling her to not contact any of us, in person or by phone, unless we do so first. SHEESH! Can't they just let that **** stay buried? No pun intended.
