Robin Williams must be everyone's favorite genius, including mine.  "The Birdcage" was also great, speaking of duplicity.

I know I am dealing with people here, and not just opinions.  That's why I had to do away with poor jjp58, because people mostly accepted her at face value, and that made me feel like a cheater.  If anyone calls me a phony, in this case, I accept that as just.  What wasn't phony were my opinions, which in general I am proud of.  

I still host martini parties for mixed crowds, though age has forced me to limit them to two on any given day.  There is nothing like a martini to get everyone in a room yakking away all at the same time, a happy scene indeed.  Also, jjp58 made a lot of money, but I don't (though I can't complain, life is good, so far!).  If you're going to invent someone, why not make her rich?

I like the English language.  In conversation I am more colloquial than in writing, and I am often spontaneously vulgar.  I have to watch myself.

Thanks, Jade
