[stylist] philosophical, non-writing related question

[Atty Rose]

The best laid plans...

It makes a great moral  quantry. Like  a Jodi  picoult novel. LOL

Personally I'd try and help the kid write a letter and use Oprah or someone 
to help with the rocky spots, but that isn't quite as entertaining. LOL

I always tease my son Blake when he says something unture, because he truly 
is a moral high-ground sort of guy when it comes to being ethical.

Now, if I were writing it it would probably have someone turning left into 
some sort of fantasy realm with sexy psychopaths just around the corner.

But probably hno talking animals.

hugs,
Atty
