My ex-wife has a huge family living in our area – parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews. Yet, in ten years of divorce, aside from one aunt and uncle who live nearby, I’ve never run into any of my ex-wife’s extended family unless the meeting was pre-arranged.

I’ve been divorced a long time, and I’ve had my share of girlfriends and lovers. But with half-time custody of my two kids, I go to bed solo way too much. Spooning isn’t even on the agenda.

When it came to holiday shopping, my kids bailed me out by going with me. Still, at some point I needed to pick [...]
Each year Santa fills my kids’ stockings with little toys and edible treats (same as he does for every other kid.) But this year he left one thing that was decidedly different – a bottle of still water from Norway.
