And because man cannot live on bile alone...

...though Lord knows I've tried.

The St. Blogger Formerly Known As Peppermint Patty has posted a wise essay on kids growing up. She's your go-to gal if you have perfume questions to address--and you know who you are.

I also liked her comment to me on kids growing up:

I hate to tell you, but once they hit school age, time just speeds up, and before you know it, you are watching them pack their things in a garbage bag and boxes and head off for their new life where you are just a spectator. But maybe we are always just spectators and fool ourselves into thinking it is more.

Maybe so--I think there's something to that last sentence.
