"the girls are totally feminine. It's a dangerous topic to write about, but there are vast differences between little girls and little boys, and these two are definitely on the feminine side."

1. Perhaps some time you might describe these differences between your girls and boy, and how early you noticed these differences developing.

2. Also any differences you've noticed in their education and learning, strengths and weaknesses. 3. I wonder what you think of the following statement as it relates to child rearing and pedagogy and one's own self-development: "Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses." (Marilyn vos Savant) True? False?

I've got that stuff in draft, but it's a matter when I get around to it. I've been spending a lot of time with children in the good weather.

Hope you can stand the wait.

Yes – I'll agree with Marilyn. Nonetheless, there is a lot to be said for weeding a balanced existence. I have not been overly successful in any single endeavor, but on balance I think I've done okay.

Fascinating to hear about the medical system and treatment. It all sounds to be pretty decent. It also makes me wonder what the comparable experience would have been in the USA. Probably a bit more high tech but with a risk of overtreatment and goodness knows what the cost would have been. I hope your recovery continues and you enjoy the good weather and the sunsets.

Thanks. Vision has been clear since yesterday afternoon. You are right to bring up cost. $750 total. Like dentistry, a real bargain here in Ukraine.
