Among your other accomplishments, "Family Man" is at the forefront.

On another note, how long has it been since I heard the word "Flibbertigibbet"???

The sound of the word brings to mind a mother hen with ruffled feathers. The definition I found said flighty.

I passed on a brief summary of your article on male / female differences to my friend Ray. While your observations struck me (and my wife) as entirely reasonable, Ray decided to argue the point. It was soon clear the argument was going nowhere, and I said so.

When one makes a general observation about life, there may be some exceptions. But that doesn't invalidate the reasonableness of the observations. Margaret Thatcher may well be an interesting example of female leadership. But is she typical of most women? I hardly think so.

Keep up the good work, Graham.

Thanks. Maggie Thatcher is an exception whom I named. Golda Meir was also pretty tough. On the other hand, influential spouses Alva Myrdahl and Eleanor Roosevelt started us on the road to perdition.

Had a good chuckle. BTW the covered pot will heat just a bit faster. Once the water is boiling, pointless to keep the flame up high, just wasted energy as the steam removes the heat.

I find the differences between men and women, girls and boys to be the best part of life. Our diversity of interests and skills complement each other.
