But I’m seriously considering ignoring it this year. Over the last five years, I’ve gotten her jewelry, a nice vacation, dinners that cost a few hundred dollars each, spa packages, and then also bought stuff for the kids to give her….and it’s all been wonderful, and she deserves it.

ST. LOUIS -- Both the Missouri House and Senate are in recess until later this morning. Then lawmakers will return for the final day of the session until six o'clock tonight, when the session is over. One major issue still on the table is sports betting.
