                  I'm on my way home from Christmas in Tallinn, which is a
                  beautiful old city including walls and churchs and history of
                  Danish and German and Russian rule. Before that I was in
                  Helsinki. There's a 2 hour 27 euro ferry between the two. It
                  was my second time in Finland (the last was with Alora and
                  Brittan in January), but my first in Estonia. I really can't
                  travel every other week to avoid being home alone without the
                  kids, but actually I can. Maybe I need to figure out cheaper
                  flights though if I have somebody to stay with in the places
                  that I go then it's really not that expensive.
                 
                
                  Tomorrow I am going to court with Cara. It is incredibly
                  painful to have someone you love so much turn into your
                  implacable enemy. She, as part of her campaign to take the
                  children away from me, is seeking a restraining order to
                  prevent me from traveling to the US. I am asking the court to
                  give me Zara's passport so we can travel.
