a lite observation:

I've just spent 4 of the past 5 days with my uncle and his wife...

(I've never been easy about calling her my aunt, because I had gotten to know him pretty well as a bachelor by the time he got married, so him getting married was a paradigm shift that, while I've never had a problem with, it never settled into an 'uncle/aunt' relationship for me.... )

anywhoo... 4 days with a family dynamic that I've really never fully sunk myself into...

my point being... I can now say with certainty (myself included) that the Robenspiel Men are universally attracted to impossibly distant and inaccessible women.

I'd like to change this.

right. Now.
