You know, I was just thinking about how proud I am of my wife who works as a nurse in the Neuro Crirical Care Unit at University Hospital. The income she makes enables us to do many things we wouldn't otherwise be able to do on just my teachers salary. She also is a strong role model for Abby and Andy who are very proud of their mom the nurse. Most importantly, she saves people's lives which gives her a huge amount of satisfaction and is hard to put a price tag on.

Sitting at the saloon in Silverton and one of the conversation points was "we all really like the Murphy's!" So I had just enough battery and reception to make one blog comment and came here... It was a good choice. See you on Wednesday, we'll be back tomorrow night.

Like most folks I take from others what I can for what I think will be good for my family. Being a single guy with some tough experiences being married and then raising kids has probably made me pay closer attention than most to how others manage making it all work. I've always valued what you two have done. I find any way that I can for my kids to spend time in your home. A fine example.

Ann is awesome.

You're all right Steve.
