Who would have ever expected Xander to be so grown up? He always surprises me (except how clueless he is about Angel). I have 3 kids. One is a doctoral candidate in Spanish Medieval History, one is a damn fine auto mechanic and one will probably go into computer applications. They are all very different (and I DO mean different as in strange as well) but we always tried to make sure they knew we didn't expect them to be carbon copies of their parents or each other. Willow needs to really learn that everyone has their own path. Sometimes they converge for a while but then they move on.

Somehow I have gotten 2 chapters behind. I don't think I am getting notices. Sigh. Breathlessly anticipating Chapter 9...
