She's the center of my universe. And she's growing up which means we can
share more sophisticated ideas, and she's growing away, which is
inevitable as she begins to shape her own life, which means she
approaches and avoids...

She's more fun than most adults and her sense of humor and mine
intersect most wonderfully.

She's 14, a freshman in high school, pretty, graceful, articulate and
generally attractive to boys. A couple seniors have indicated interest
and I only had to threaten one for both to understand that she's too
young for them and their intents. But she much likes their attention...

So I'm a daddy of an utterly unique child - just like every other kid...

<LOL> Her dacquoise drew a few teachers into that classroom and the
principal found his way there before it was gone. Kind of culinary
telepathy...
