Oh, Annette,
We, of the upcoming parenting generation whose childrena are
approaching Antony's age are just waiting to get our own, you know? I
can only but imagine what schemes and foibles I will have to face with
my youngest, who is already plotting to overthrow his school.
There is no doubt that highlighting hair helps, (see any of my show
photos I'm driven to enough distraction to have several colors) and for
sure the dogs are more predictable. For instance, your Maggie will only
bear watching around the rabbits here. <G>
Should Antony show up in Boston, he is welcome here.
I *AM* envisioning your reaction to being told that Antony is
er......doing "independent study" rather than at University.
Warm Regards,
Suze (who remembers Antony as an extremely brilliant, handsome young man
with a strong independent streak.........<G>)
