" My partner David , who was a linguist for the Army in Southeast Asia , translated my name into Chinese".... first thought you were a woman and then was under the impression that you were a man. So now I'm confused. Are you homosexual?
No Greg , the word "partner" might refer to a similar idea of "Christian Brother" . He is a fantastic, intelligent, gregarious & ebullient Italian/American , with a Masters in Chinese Language ... History and Politics
David is happily married to a lovely Japanese(now American) gal , he met while at University after serving his country with distinction in Vietnam as a 1rst lieutenant linguistics operator . They have two lovely girls. We have been in business together off and on , during some of the years that have gone by since we met in the mid-70's , and I was at school. In war he was subjected to some of the horrors of man hunting man , since then he repaired and became a successful executive "Head Hunter", placing top executives in corporate positions.
I suppose I love him (and Marie) as much as anyone could his own brother ...for his wit , humor, intelligence and general love of man .
retro-regards ,

PS: If you had even bothered to check back to those posts we were exchanging , we were discussing King Solomon's having 700 wives and 300 concubines, and I was remarking to Solon and ionesco that my name was ----->" Strong Noble Stallion " , in Chinese . That I might possibly be able to keep up with King Solomon, hehe .Now really , does that infer to your mind that I am "homosexual" ? Or a woman ?
Please greg , if you really can't keep up with some of the conversations , even ones so obvious , maybe take a time out and go sit in the corner, perhaps with one of your 1/2 empty clay-pots to keep you entertained. |
