Happy birthday observed, Steve! (No pics, since I'm at work, but I'll try to hook you up from home tonight.)
Re: Kids & Email: Kiddo is 9 and has never asked for an email account. Since the only computers in the house belong to me & her father, she can't use them without us knowing, so there'll be no secrecy going on. (I'd kill her) She does occasionally ask for a cell phone, 'cause "so-and-so has one". I usually first ask Who the hell would you call? Her new answer is "You." So I tell her "Then use so-and-so's phone."
*shrug* She'll get one when her father and I are ready, and since she's not dating til she's 50 and we're both dead, it's gonna be a while.
Spent yesterday at hubby's softball practice (I actually ran laps in the park) then we went and had a cookout dinner with my cousin and his wife. I think hubby is determined to make sure I thoroughly bond with what little family I have left now. Hubby grew up with his herd of cousins like they were all brothers, so the fact that I see my cousins about three times a year really bothers him.
