I am the richest man in the world

[Botany]

Watching Green Bay v NY Giants as my 13 year old son snuggles
under a blanket by me on the sofa w/ our 1 year old lab pup lying across
us. We have chicken from the grill in a spicy "jerk sauce" garlic
bread, and salad w/ blue cheese.

He just ran the dog round the block in 10 degree weather and came in
laughing .... life is good.

Will I spoil him tonight? .... you betya' .... Orange sherbet and dark chocolate
chunks ... fine .... no school tomorrow too.

Politics is important but I hope to make a lifetime memory for him tonight.

13. I've got my Marine son home for a day

before he heads back to California and then off to MOS school for 3-1/2 months. Sgt. Longhorn has two dogs in his lap right now. The other three dogs are curled up in their doggy beds by the fire. Sgt. Longhorn, Mr. Longhorn, and I just finished some pizza. We've also been watching football all day (rooted for the Chargers, now rooting for the Packers.)

You're a good dad! :hi:

15. Well, consider me the richest woman in the world?

Kids, friends and family - in and out all day/night, our future daughter-in-law and our boys are here, home safe and sound after being away for a week - lots of excitement, hearing about their trip - planning the upcoming wedding with the girls (3 daughters and f d-i-l), celebrating our 13 y/o daughter's birthday, lots of good food, laughter, love, and the Packers. What more could anybody want?

Edited after last play to request another Packer TD!!! GO PACK!!!
