Birch: Not much. I still have my old job and I’m content with my situation. I’m okay.

Simon: How are your wife and kids?

Birch: They are well, thank you. Andrea (wife) has gone home to visit her parents; Jason and Jordon are great, getting straight A’s at school. How about your family?

Simon: Well, Laura (wife) just got a job at a new law firm that she likes. The twins are good too, winning trophies in basketball and soccer.
