This is my first act of submitting to the net, so pardon any of the problems of acclimation. Here is a list of some of the few good and bad parts of not currently being married: GOOD: At the present moment in time, raising children alone is a not uncommon phenomenon among those who are used to it. A projected interaction may never have to have been delayed because of critical commitments with marriage counselers. The functional divisions of marriage are seldom insufficient with respect to marriage contracts. BAD: As a consequence of the fact of the current tax laws, a total part-time friendship can have not insubstantial financial advantages. In some cases, sophisticated after-hours rendezvouses have been scheduled with the implicit object of protecting casual liaisons. The simplifications arising from the unrestricted attention of another person for at least part of the time, are needed by everyone. I hope that you all find that you can be in general agreement with these (admittedly barely unprofessional) observations. I will gladly entertain other opinions via private correspondence if that is so desirable. Not afraid to sign my name and unsure of how to do it, *<-- Chuck -->*
