I learned recently that instead of asking yourself why you feel a certain way, you should ask yourself who feels that way? This is an attempt to learn how to step out of yourself and become an observer in your own life. In doing this the emotion is removed and one can choose not to react adversly in a given situation. Very Zen like, very Tao Te Ching like. By the way, if you have not read Tao Te Ching please do so.
To think I will turn 55 years old in 11 days and I am just now learning to be an observer in my own life. Better late than never. Understand others and you are wise, understand yourself and you are enlightened.
Things are moving along rather nicely. The Olympics will now entertain all of us for the next 2 weeks. Via Con Dios.

Dear Russian Princess,
....in regards to your sons comment, "men are not programmed to be comforters and it is the fault of the women's movement".
Men go out and seek "comforters". This is what has been "programmed" in the male species. From a baby, to a young man, to the husband. The male species crave attention, and soothing comfort from a mom, and then his wife. What needs to be recognized here, is that, "IT IS O. K."
Feelings are not a weakness. From animals to humans, we all create comfort feelings, and give comfort feelings.
This is one of God's greatest gift he has bestowed on living creators.
That's it,
your favorite "blonde"
