What a treat to get an update. I send a hearty congratulations to you and your kids - job well done!
Can't tell you the times I've thought of you over the years. Unlike you, I do get my 'knickers in a twist' over just about everything with my poor son. But, I think maybe I can say I go one twist less because of your inspiration over the years

I'm envious of Ariel's job - it sounds like a dream come true for a certain type of person. I enjoyed LexisNexis so much during the year I went to law school (during which the college paid the subscription fee!). What a change with Laurel - she's my inspiration. Her determination and your positive attitude toward her desire to forgo college and concentrate on her loves has helped me time and again. And, Hunter - what a crack up. Has he read Mark Salzman's IRON AND SILK (on audio tape at our library)? It's Salzman's account of living and teaching in China and finding a martial arts teacher while there - takes place during the 70's or early 80's I think.
It's fun to watch these young people find their paths, isn't it?
Hey, we're going to have make this an annual tradition - last two weeks in August . . .
