This sounds very interesting.  Anyone know the gist of the cycle/waves thing?

when my friend Susan calls me on some grammatical mis-step, I never remind
her that it was I that edited her papers when she was in law school, oh, so
many years ago.  I do think it would be helpful if kids had a clue that
they were bending the rules.  Just as a survival skill.  Susan also always
keeps her left hand in her lap when she's eating,  never wears white after
Labor Day and co-ordinates accessories, but we've been getting each other
out of jams (usually, auto or cat related ) for so long, we're used to each
other, I guess.

Putting off wrapping  presents till the last possible moment-pms
