As it is, we spend literally days without seeing each other (except when one of us is unconscious) and communicating through e-mail and text messaging -- this includes both our anniversary and, of course, Valentine's Day...

...but she knows that if we want to be in the hunt for the top spot, we have to put in the time, and I'm lead mentor, so I'm in the hot seat.

I'm a lucky man! (But I'd still like to see a 'no withholding allowance' change to the rules for 2012... It evens things up for first week vs. later regionals, too.)
