Hi Jon,

I know you and Heather do not talk about everything you do and all your issues on your blogs so my suggestion may be moot. But I mean well.

According to what you share on your blogs you two have a very nice relationship where you live and work together, and are really seemingly together a lot in your house. You have family on both sides close by which you see regularly. You have a kid, being a parent is hard, but rewarding. You have pets. You pet sit. Relatives and friends come and stay with you frequently. Heather travels for work, you go too sometimes. You go on mini vacations together sometimes. Sometimes, you get amnesia just long enough to take your kid and/or pets on vacation with you, and barely survive the experience. I do not remember any stories about any stuff you do all by yourself just for yourself. Maybe you could go visit some of YOUR friends for a few days all by yourself, or begin volunteering for something all by yourself. I know you are very into music, and have some experience playing music. Perhaps there is some sort of mentoring or tutoring thing you can do?

So, basically, I thing the dogs, and the snow, and the being the man, and wanting to fix it all will be less daunting if you find something to do that is all about you, and do it just for you.

Love the look on Chuck’s face.

At least someone in the family enjoys the winter!
We had a mild one here, in the mid-atlantic, and I hope that spring comes soon for y’all and that you get some beautiful pictures of flowers, instead of snow.
When our children are out of school, we’re headed (back) south for the land of no winters…only 14 years to go!

I love Chuck…it IS truly a beautiful thing how he can make even winter and snow seem like a great thing to be enjoyed. I don’t think you or Heather should change a think about the way you spend your time…unless you want to. Thanks for sharing youreselves, your lives and (biasedly) most of all Chuck.

Even though I haven’t experienced it, it does seem like you guys are enduring the longest winter ever. It seems to have been going on for like 6 months, while we on the other hand have had 6 months of summer. People were swimming at the beach last night. Ah well what can you do. Wishing you many hot hot days and lazy summer nights listening to the crickets with the dogs panting at your feet.

Something tells me Chuck burns a heck of a lot more calories than I do every day. Go Chuck!

I wish I were a dog so I could enjoy snow and think it’s fun! We got a couple of inches just after Easter, and we’ll get some new snow on Sunday again, apparently. I know your pain!
