We're a modest little group, living what we consider a normal life. We get up most mornings and go to work. We come home at night after work. We attend school functions with our daughter. Watch stuff on TV like Sister Wendy's "The Story of Painting" and Stephen Hawkings Universe. The teenager watches most Science Fiction shows, in a close chanel surfing contest with Dad.
