What books did you buy?  I love book stores.  Congrats on the baby's b'day.  
You are going to do what you will, but if everyone is saying not to get your 
hopes up on tj coming home, be careful.  I have rarely been home for 
Christmas since my freshman year in college.  But, for years, I think my 
mother kept expecting me, though I told her I wasn't coming -- and, I 
didn't.............
