I spent the majority of my working life travelling 4-5 days a week. And I got to live in some cool places and see some amazing things. But I cannot tell you how happy I am these days just for the simple joy of coming home and seeing my family every night.
Other than that not much has been happening. C1 has officially been banned from paintball until his grades improve. I am learning to follow a zero tolerance policy with him. I told him paintball would be gone if the grades were not these and gone it is. We will see if that gets the grades up. He is smart enough to be a straight A student but he hates school and cannot seem to get the value of it.

Ian, you have no idea what a relief it must be for MIchelle to have you there to enforce the 0 tolerance. I know for me and Bri, when he traveled, I would be very resentful when he would sweep in and try to implement something that I would later have to enforce. I am sure it is a breath of fresh air to Michelle that it's not all up to her 4 days a week! Congrats on being home!
A suggestion for talking with your son about his grades - Point out to him what a good education leads to and have him look at his family and your lives.
I'm sure your wife and kids love having you at home each night.
