and since when was it the responsibility to police the activity and eating habits of kids? at some point i cut it all off and later in life, i let it grow again but this time i thought that i should stop blow drying it and just let it dry curly. perhaps in your parent's glowing years a place warmer intrigues all of them. others sometimes do not get the attention they deserve. i’m enjoying reading about your travels and look forward to reading the rest of the story!! my hubby said that my memory is lacking and should do something about it.
