Glad to see you stepping in and I'm sure you will do a fine job.
It just got to be too much for me with the other stuff going on in my life right now. Nearly lost my wife the week before Thanksgiving due to a flare up of GvHD (Graft vs Host Disease, caused by her bone marrow/stem cell transplant) and the company I spent the last 8 years working for filed for bankruptcy the Monday after Thanksgiving (read "newly unemployed").
My wife is doing fine now (leukemia free for a year this month and GvHD under control) and I have an excellent job offer on the table. Its stressful being unemployed but I'm intentionally taking the rest of December off to spend with my wife and, when the holidays roll around and the girls return, the rest of my family. Today we went Christmas shopping for the girls and bought tile for the bathroom remodels. Yesterday I finally got around to fixing a busted light fixture in the kitchen. I think I could get used to this...
