He is not really into art, but he doesn't "dislike" it, either. The breadth and depth of his knowledge never ceases to amaze me, so if you have some art books focusing on historical periods, that would probably be OK.

Holding your son in my thoughts, along with my brother (who is also a bike nut).
We usually aren't allowed to know where my brother is, which is nerve-wracking, but he's on a supply ship full of explosives at the moment so it's probably best that is kept secret.
I'm glad you'll get to see your son at Thanksgiving!"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I empathize, Knott. Although we know Scott is at "Fallujah Base," he spends most of his time off the base, interviewing locals for help in locating "bad guys." He is not allowed to tell us anything. On the other hand, I am glad he is no longer the guy whose head is sticking out of the top of a Humvee, with a machine gun.
Of course, I was the mom who allowed no war toys...

Funny how that works. I have a friend who didn't allow her daughter to play with Barbie dolls; in fact, my friend actively ranted against Barbie at every opportunity. Now her daughter is 15 and is a complete Barbie doll! My friend is beside herself, of course.

Thanks, Tulip. Your story reminds me of someone I know. Actually, Scott's little girlfriend from pre school in AZ. Her mother is an archeologist, more comfortable slogging about on dig sites than wearing make up or doing anything girly. She never encouraged any girly stuff for her child. I laughed out loud years later when I found out that she (the daughter) was a model all through middle and high school. In fact, when Scott saw her when he was a senior in high school, his comment was, "She's hot, but ditzy."
OK, enough off topic.
