advice......

ok, so my eldest popped home for a brief visit...mostly to sign his fafsa and tax return forms.......but also to ask my advice on some burning questions...gentle readers........there cannot be a moment quite as sweet as the child who once told you that he could take care of himself with my help/advice/counsel.........ask for my opinion.......o happy day........well.....it wasn't that burning of a question....not something major like getting married or having elective surgury......but significant enough that i was touched that he wanted to know what i thought.......
