I am going to take you at your word, Steve. I feel you are, in your own way, showing me some real love here. It is true: If I have one regret in my life, it is "the element of fun seems to be missing in [my] life"--however, the ironic thing is that by confessing that, I tried to GIVE THE OPPOSITE IMPRESSION. But your post here does go where there is this mysterious and inappropriate seriousness--Perhaps you have some solution? It is one thing to sympathize, Steve--but in your last sentence you actually suggest you might have a remedy? Or am I reading too much into what you have said? If there is some way that I can get in on the fun that you have (maybe that is a little too much to hope for--but even just to experience a fraction of what you enjoy; at least that would be an improvement), perhaps you can begin to lead me in that direction. I feel you have penetrated to a secret which I have attempted to keep to myself, but with this post, Steve, this one post, I feel you have begun to break me open, and I would ask you to follow through here with the next level of my initiation into The Way to Have Better Sex and More Fun. I am dead serious about this, Steve. You have shown yourself remarkably immune from having life bring you to a point of internal crisis. This, I believe, is a kind of unconscious metaphysical virtue--I need to unlearn what has turned me into a Soren without the humour. This is a start, Steve--and only you and I know it is said sans irony. Love, Robin
