In all her newly found maturity, I have complaints about Cousin. She's also becoming demanding in previously unseen ways. Which I find ironic; there was a time when I'd have been wrapped around her little finger and if that age ended, it was her fault.

I'm ready to make my conscious grooming effort with the newbie girl.

Anarchoboy (still thinking of a new nick for him) is getting more interesting and smarter by the day. And his fine taste in girls is something I really appreciate. I need a serious, but light hearted and nice, talk with him about girls. I'll have to take him out for that. I'll be jealous when he gets his crush as girlfriend (she's someone I truly dig myself) but also happy for them both: they make a nice couple and I'll be happy to watch them grow together.

Gunner's classmates and friends are prettier and sexier every day. And I'm still decided to keep them in my life. Several do need a GLer in their lives. Of course, even the ones who probably don't require a GLer, as such, would benefit of it, and I'm interested enough. All but one are cute.

Thatcher grew up. I can't believe her sense of responsibility she has now acquired. She has a greater lust for life now. At the same time, she is more realistic; about herself, about bhoys, about family, Mom and sisters, about her future, about the roles she plays... She is an awesome girl now. And I have to confess, she is probably the hottest girl I know from an AGLer's perspective.

Raccoon is suffering now from the consequences of her own decisions, but is also learning from it. In her own ways, she is also reaching balance and maturity. And remains as sexy and lovely to me as always. Although she resists against growing up, she is becoming steadily who I always knew she was.

And Gunner is perfect. She is playful and joyful. She is short tempered and demanding. She is sexy, unbelievably and uncompromisingly so. And she likes being sexy. She is light as a feather, soft as silk, with a voice and a heart from Heaven. As she watched TV, I fell asleep on her shoulder, my arms around her, her feet on me, and me breathing in her hair's scent. Gunner, you're the love and light of my life. Gunner, I will always love you. I don't know if you'll ever love me like I do. But you are the One. My wife, whatever anyone else says about it.
