Okay, Doc, here's the boast: I've never left a woman, or been left by a woman who decided I wasn't for her. I've loved only two women in my life, and been loved by them the same. I'm now 73. I've been with my second wife longer than my first but both have been a dream. Between the two, I did have paid sex with a woman in Amsterdam. That's it, all of it.

The reason I offer such narcissistic info is in regards to my writing. To read so succinctly a woman's inner thoughts is gratifying to my writing soul. My attempts have been rather shallow, guess work mainly. Even at my age, there's a lot to learn from reading this piece. Thank you.
