I love the book. I read her and spend an unhealthy amount of time agreeing with her and, as if it were possible, I am even older than you are. I am however bouncing around jauntily just now as Ian has pointed out to me that I seemed to believe I was 57 when I am actually 56. So that's nice. An extra year for free. <br />She was home schooled I believe.
