**Johnny:** Move to the East Coast, become my sugar daddy (though our age difference might not be significant enough … sugar uncle?), and you can put me through ground & flight school. While you’re at it, get an instructor’s license and save yourself a bundle on the flight school cost. 😃 **fessie:** Sorry for the aeronautic hijack. 🙂 **Sensibility:** What makes you say that you need to “toughen up?” You make it sound as though it’s impossible to have a lot of heart _and_ protect yourself. That’s simply not so. Screw **Johnny’s** tea: let’s you and me talk over some beers. 😉 (No offense, **J**!) ---

I think I need stolidity. All the guys with nice looking women seem stolid to me. So since I don’t wanna die alone amongst empty gin bottles and smelly cats, I think I need to become more stolid. ---
