BasinBum: I do all the cooking too. But I was a chef for 7 years, so for me its a lot easier to cook for 2 than 20-2000.
Also, I have to tell you guys this story. I was told just last month (end of Nov) that my position was being eliminated (due to State budget cuts), after being there for 6 years and my last day is Dec 31st, "Merry Christmas". Note: that's where I met my present wife (after I was divorced form the previous "wife" ) So word got around. Last week I got a trouble call, I supervise the IT Help Desk among other things, and was asked to come up and check the laptop & projector for a conference. I'm thinking I don't remember any conference scheduled in that room, must have been last minute. So I go up walk in the conference room ready to troubleshoot & SURPRISE, those goofy people had a surprise going away party for me. The room was filled with people. I have to tell ya I was completely blown away!!! I actually had to walk out for a minute or 2 because I just lost it. I had no idea these people appreciated me that much. One of the best experiences in my entire life, honestly. They ordered all my favorite food, mostly beef
BUT to top it all off, they took up a collection for a gift for me & guess what they gave me. A $200.00 gift certificate for Tower Hobbies. Completely blown away again!!!! Ya know, I still get misty eyed about it even now. I just had no idea..... Anyway, about my previous story that's all true too, but don't take my moral seriously. I don't want to break up any couples

Even though I still haven't found a new job: Merry Christmas, or whatever your religion celebrates. I may be broke next month, but life goes on........ and I have a new plane to build

Best of all my wife is behind me & supporting me all the way
