Well in my case, Bud, obviously yes I'd say something along those lines.
But, I'd be more than happy to rub Cassie's feet or slow dance with Lureen. But, the more difficult question is about establishing a long term relationship. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I really like the idea of something like that. But, I'm also self-aware enough to know that it would be a massive, massive adjustment to live with someone. The old cliche about getting "set in one's ways" feels very, very real to me after years of doing things according to my own schedule, comfort level, etc.

Well, if I were Jack, I'd say, "you and Alma, that's a life." Can't you just hear him saying it! I'll have to think about the concept of being set in one's ways, Amanda. It's true that there's a lot of people in my life which leads to a lot of chaos. Still, when I feel like being alone, I go to a movie or take a hike in the mountains, or just go to my room and take a nap. And that seems to take care of my need to be alone. The Dalai Lama said, Spend a little time alone each day. It's good advice (and I tell my friends, your commuting time doesn't count!) There's also the benefit of feeling secure about your possessions. I'm forever dealing with my things being "borrowed" or mislaid. It's unnerving. Still, there is something in my DNA which causes me to seek out the warmth of others. I must have been a bunny in a previous life.

Well, but there's a difference between "befriending" and "ranching up together." Isn't there?

No, not the way Jack defines it.

Well, we're not Jack.
