Lo & LP, prayers out for the both of you - my condolences for your loss.

My New Year's plans consist of watching my kid play soccer. She's transferred to a new team and we arrived in Orlando this morning for one of the largest college coach showcase tournaments in the country. I am way pumped, as she has been on this team since November, traveling to OK, NC, CA, but this is the first time I get to see her play with them. Anyway, I'm in charge of one of the meals on New Year's Day, so New's Year's Eve will include to a trip to the store to lay in supplies. (In youth soccer, all holidays are tournament dates. Many clubs will let you know at the beginning of the soccer year which two weeks out of the year you may use for family vacation.) Incidentally, this team was finalist in the tourney last year, and won it the year before - Disney Showcase. It's pretty cool.
