--Puts me in mind of an episode from twenty years ago: my then-spouse and I were guests at a wedding in LA. The night before the nuptials the wedding party split up by sex, the women remaining at the couple's home partaking liberally of French champagne and Bolivian marching powder, the men to a mediocre Mexican restaurant. Upon our return from a dull and uneventful meal, we men found our partners in a *very* mellow mood. My spousette was no exception. "I really enjoyed that," she purred. "We just sat around talking about relationships for three hours. That's what women talk about when we get together. What do men talk about when *you* get together?" I didn't have to ponder a response. "We talk about the amusing things we've done when we've been drunk." To this day I believe that I put my finger on a profound difference between the sexes.
cordially,
