ANDERSON - Even though her son Ryan has already fashioned a relatively successful career in print publishing, is happily married with two beautiful children and maintains a fulfilling social life, local mom Angela Fernstein just worries about him, that's all.

"Perhaps I should send him some cash in the mail," she said, seemingly casting aside all knowledge of her son's $45,000 salary and annual $4,000 bonus. "He did say something about how he and Rebecca haven't bought groceries in two weeks. I hope he's okay."
Displaying a somewhat anxious countenance Friday, Fernstein explained that "there isn't a day goes by when she doesn't worry about Ryan", who was otherwise busy dining at his favorite 5-star restaurant complements of his employers, following news of his recent promotion.
"He didn't quite sound like himself when we last spoke," she pondered, failing to recall that Ryan had merely been exhausted following a really gratifying 5-set tennis match with best friend Anthony. "I'd really ought to pop on over tomorrow - just to make sure he's hanging in there."
