I have two close friendships with women of the older generation.  These
are very warm, lasting friendships.  One of them composes computer music
(as I do) and we have put on several concerts together.

As for the relationship with my mother - I have exactly the relationship
I want with her - I haven't spoken to her in 15 years, and was completely
on my own by the time I was 17.
