"It also makes me nostalgic in that I miss Neocon. I disagreed with him on most things, but he had both a quick and a deep mind and posting to him made me think my positions very carefully. It may not have been his intention, but he made me a better person."

Enjoyed reading that. It tells me who you are. He was well read. But for some reason he often used his intellect to rationalize. I believe such misdirected rationalization can only stem from fear. May he rest in peace. He does.

And he also made me a better person. And that has nothing to do with Potters and Trolls on a drinking spree!

I did the same for my brood....we ate a lot of mac'n'cheese and hot dogs for a few years....but it was worth it.
The worst was when we had 3 in college at the same time...

I hope you celebrated your achievement in some special way...I know we did.
