And thank you.

When I worked in human services in the next county over, many years ago, I ended up "on call" on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Easter. Literally, over a six-year stretch, I got called out at least once per holiday. And there is nothing less pleasant in social work than being called to a family fight on a holiday, when alcohol has been flowing.

My boys are adults now. Both were here, one with his lady. And my daughters called me this morning.
