I know the feeling, Rick. My oldest just turned 18 so she "is" an adult AND she's moving to another city in a few months so she can attend university there. Just when you think you have kids you turn around and find what you really have is a family of individuals making up their own minds about their own lives. I'm still not sure when it happens but it seems to happen when we're not looking very closely: they suddenly grow up. *sigh* What will I do with all the free time I'm going to have in the coming years? Hmmmm, yak, paddle, water...I know!
