Yes. I don't believe he's real; but if he is ~ I'd like to give him a shove. From the I-fell tower. Well, not really. But I wouldn't feel obligated to make friends with him.

Let me relate a true story. Some years ago, I was married to someone that I'm not married to now. Romantic engagements became infrequent. Then they became very infrequent. I mean once a year. Then, two years went by, and one morning I woke up and thought,

"I'm never gonna get laid again!"

This was not not not a happy thought. It had a bad effect on me. It was not the idea that I might not get any for a year or four, it was the never again aspect that had the bad effect. Then, I happened to get divorced, for unrelated reasons, and was pleased to be wrong about my earlier realization.

I am not defended the old coot in any way, but I understand the basis of his bizarre actions. He woke up a few months ago and thought, "Hey! Maybe I was wrong!" That's not a bad thing.

It's just his plan that really sucks. But remember, he is a man. Relatively simple nervous system. :o)
