Thanks so much, baby_mouse. Your lovely description of your life with Fox reminds me of my dear friends, J & B. I miss them so much (both died some years back.) And it reminds me a wee bit of my own life with The World's Most Nearly Perfect Human Being, whom I had the incredible luck to encounter nearly ten years ago and ended up married to.

And it reminds me that once we know someone, even moderately well, it's very hard to really hate them, no matter how many superficial differences from ourselves they might have-- because really, all humans share more in common (well, human nature, there it is...) than we tend to think, and have more differences (individuality and things that make us uniquely us,) than we tend to think. It's too easy to blur those we don't know into "them," and to make assumptions about what "they" are like.

If you ever decide to get serious about that Scrabble board, think about coming to Santa Fe and choosing tiles. Best food in the U.S., here, but ssshhhhhhhh.... it's a secret. We only share it with friends.

cordially,
Bright
