Hurray for the Chili! Your son must be some Super Sous Chef! And Suez, you are such a good caregiver to pick the skins out of the beans for your cancer survivor. You probably would peel a grape for him, too if that's what he asked for. I know what you mean about the smoking. My older son (not Paul, the cancer survivor) has smoked since his early teens and right now my "bitching" is down to 2 - 3 times a year. If I had big bucks, I think I would send him on one of those smoke-free month long cruises I heard about some time ago.
