Complicated, indeed. I better have a morning pick me up, and contemplate this a little more.

As usual, and I'd guess it's my age, but you lost me at about, "Willingness requires empathy." So I don't know if it's because I'm becoming feeble minded or because I just don't know what the hell you're talking about... Except for the three fingers of scotch but in my case it would be three fingers of tequila which is the proper measure for a shot of tequila; Sauza Tequila, that is; white or gold, it don't matter.
Mark... Oh, yeah, help your wife.

Patrick, you lost me at "Standards" I haven't had any for years, but then you got me back at the 3 fingered double Scotch. Think we're on the same page now and I enjoyed reading this one.

Thanks Dick
