And that was why in my toxic bachelor days I dropped that poor princeton girl...it does't require a mirror of all of your interests but connections of the intellect are a must for one to persist past the joy of a roll in the hay (or 20). She's no doubt moved on to better things and probably...

yes but what about your wife?

That is funny. Probably just as well the Brown fans didn't engage. I've read 2 of his books and can see why some people like them, but wish readers wished for more. They're like a film novelization at best. A hollywood summer blockbuster film. Oh well. Guess the DB sales will hopefully...
