<<And I'm startin' to get my feelings hurt a little here. I'm kinda the cute but dumb type, myself. Not all that cute, but I try and maximize to make up for the mental deficiency.>> Dang if you don't look and sound neat to me. That new hair style and top look good on you. To have that kind of style you have to be sharp mentally.

Yeah--isn't it funny---John Cusack is adorable and we're afraid to hear him speak lest he ruin the image with the truth of his own thoughts. And here we are, so adorable-but I really don;t want people to SEE me. Christine used to write about diaphanous dresses and flowing hair.. and I used to think--Wow, I'm sitting here in my gym shorts and Puccini t-shirt and no make-up.... And one day she wrote about the reality of the men in their t-shirts and beer guts and day's growth---and us in our jeans... and how we were acting out our fantasies. I don't know that they're sexual fantasies at all, do you? I think they're more-hmmm---the fantasies of mind meeting mind? Feelings finding reciprocal feelings? Not being alone for a brief time with our humanity??? Pass the Chardonnay. It must be Friday.

True story about John Goodman. He is originally from Affton, MO, which is about 25 miles outside of St. Louis. Several years ago he was looking into buying a home in the St. Louis area and he went to the office of a realty company that for the most part sold homes in the more exclusive areas, like Ladue, Frontenac, Town & Country, Huntleigh, etc. He's wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans, the classic Dan Connor look. He tells the agent he's looking for something in the low 7 figures range and the agent laughs him right out of the room. "Oh, right. Like you can afford that." So he asks his mother in Affton if she knows any realtors who might be interested in helping him buy a house and she refers him to a friend of hers who's biggest sale was probably in the 150 thousand range. She finds John a suitable home and gets a years worth of commissions in the transaction. So much for judging a book by its cover.
