Jon, 4 kids? Are they dividing and multiplying?

Babysitting swap with another family in our neighborhood. And my wife was gone.

I wish I could get up early enough to run in the mornings like you but I love sleep too much. If I don't get my 8.5 hours then there are problems.

Nic- I'll admit I'm dead tired right now. I have only been getting 5 hours per night this week. For me to get 8.5, I would have to go to bed at 7:30 pm.
