I'm going to save the global questions of irreconciliation for 2 weeks from now when you and I are again (and finally) in the same town

Thanks for the comment. Perhaps I came off sounding a little to

Being here has also given me much time to think about my choice in friends. Actually it was specifically my pseudo-involvement with the “old guy”, who doesn’t know the meaning of the word listen, that made me start thinking about this. What I realized is that I consciously and unconsciously surround myself with people who are more or less very self-absorbed. I mean this not insultingly, although some of the people of which I speak could stand a class or two in “caring about others.” But mostly I mean simply people who are talkers, people who are happy to think and talk about themselves indefinitely. And I encourage this because it means that I do not have to talk. I am a unbearably shy person at times, I always have been. And it is not that I think that it is mysterious or demure, I would rather be outspoken and opinionated (I personally find shy boring), but nevertheless I often find myself unable to express much of anything. It still amazes me that we have become such good friends. It takes patients to get to know me

Bitsy,

I expect to see a post from you about the evil party. Not optional. I just finished mine. See you tomorrow.
