Hear hear, Gary. I'm living with a guy right now who I met at a party,
emailed with for 2 weeks, then powie! We were both looking at similar
goals in life in general, had some attraction for each other, and decided
to wing it. I can't say what's going to happen tomorrow, but right now,
and for the past few months, we've been happy. Onward Ho! (:
