Good luck Beefy, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer (colon) last week. It's been caught quite early (so the surgeon thinks) and may be sorted with keyhole surgery and no chemo...just waiting now but he could go in next week. Christmas takes a back seat in our house too.

So much snow here about the same as Riche's pic! Now I'm in a dilemma, do I stay up watching the NFL tonight on the assumption that school will be canceled tomorrow?
