Fortunately Sweetheart, your mother is not an attention whore, and I do appreciate you not posting my picture. Slowly but surely that circle of "bad men" are dwindling. No matter how many are left, no matter how many Christmas cards I get (or don't get), I sleep very well at night knowing that all the evils in the world could never penetrate the safe world I provided for my children when they were growing up. Now that you guys have grown up and moved away, I say to all the "bad men" in this world; If you still want a piece of my ass, my ass is still in the neighborhood.
