Where I live, the days have gotten longer, the weather is warm, everything is green, I can go swimming in the water, and sitting in front of the computer really feels like work now! There may be a connection there ...

When my daughter was your son's age, she was the most incredible thing in the world to me. Still is, actually -- but back then was special.
