We sure do act like barbarians. I get heartburn when thinking about how many years we have generations that fizzle out like mine has seem to have done…

it is a 32 year old midget.

OK, so it is a 12 year old girl. I hope there are a lot more like her out there. Boys, too.

to assume a specific future for someone like this.

She is an awesome young lady, but maybe she'll want to do biomedical research someday, or write trashy novels, or teach public school. She needs to be allowed to find her own path in life.

She really seems to be a natural for it and she obviously has a knack (and a real enjoyment!) of it!

She also has flair. That hat is fabulous. Reminds me of Bella Abzug...she was a force of nature!
