I don't mind morphing into my mother.........she is a terrific woman, and still a joy to me. the classic case of channeling my mother: Was managing a large gallery, when i heard a new hire talking to a veteran employee. Who told the new hire, "whatever you do, NEVER tell Gypsy that you are bored.......she will feel "sorry" for you, and find you something to do! Had no idea that i emulated my mother so much! On the other hand, i don't recall ever being bored as a child, or even as a teenager.
