I agree; it is tough, but when I go back to the riding, I'm trying to figure out ways to incorporate my family into this life. I have 11 Santa Claus parades. Right after Remembrance Day—the Sunday after—it starts and it goes all the way until December 15th, it was this past year. It was tough, and the House wasn't sitting, so I can imagine that if the House were sitting it would be just.... I would be grumpy. My staff would be grumpy. My spouse would be grumpy. My kid would be grumpy. I actually started bringing him to some of the parades. It worked out well. Luckily it wasn't a cold winter, so it worked out very well.
