The most impressive way for two people to impress each other is to
fall in love with each other.  Then there is no second-best, no
comparisons.  Love hides a lot of sins.

In my old age I've become convinced that people don't fall in love
with each other because of the way they look or what they have.
They're attracted to each other because their energies are
compatible and more than likely, each has inside what the other
already has.

Wang?  Univac?  Could she program in Fortran? :-)

Dog is man's best friend.
