Riding Rusty will never be like riding Soli

I did get that question answered! (See entry about Mulling over some questions.) Rusty will likely always be Rusty and never be Soli. Why did I think Rusty might settle down and act and react (or not react) like Soli one day? It is not simply age that brings qualities like Soli offers. I would like it if it were but I guess I will come to accept Rusty the way he is and spend more time feeling of him and guiding him, and less time wishing he were different. Smart plan, eh?
