<..what are Maurice's fave websites? does each contain such names as... Jack Daniels, Chivas Regal, Bushmill, Seagrams, Captain Morgan ???> Jim, it's a bit embarrassing for me to admit, but the sherry stuff is really an idle boast to make me appear tough. A boss I had once, who really liked to drink, had good-natured contempt for my lack of ability in that regard, though I valiantly quaffed the odd ale in a vain attempt to be 'one of the boys'. He reckoned that Charles, a guy I worked with, who was not noted for being able to drink more than a pint or two, was an alcoholic compared with me. You know, being a noted psychologist myself [along with nearly everyone else in SoCal, which I have visited which qualifies me as one], sometimes people accuse other people of being something or having some characteristic which they themselves have.

It's all to do with self-identity. We construct a reality based on our experiences and receptors [like a cat is well-tuned with 'bird' receptors in their brain, ready to be developed] then project that reality back out to the world around us. Which then reflects back in again, like one of those crazy mirror houses with parallel mirrors on each side of a corridor. You'd like to stand downwind of Jill? Anytime? After baked beans?

Surely you thought that women's brain growth stuff was interesting. No? Actually, I have to go now, but ...[to be continued]
