stoutfellowI've decided that I'm going to stay here in Edwardsville over the holidays. I need to take care of Gracie, and there are a number of things that need to be done around the house.
I left home for college in 1975; this will be only the second time since then that I haven't spent Christmas with my family. (The other time featured dog care as well; Murphy was seriously ill.) I wish things were otherwise, but I think staying home is the best option this time around.
