- Actually, I'm starting to get the distinct impression that there's an
- intelligent, entertaining, and interesting guy hiding beneath Ed's
- thorny exterior--indeed, if he doesn't start working a lot harder at
- keeping others away, I may find myself liking him at any moment.
-
- And if that happens--well, then there's a pretty good chance that there
- will be others who are more Ed's type (plumbing-wise being perhaps the
- most important) who will feel the same and he'll have to start dealing
- with letters from interested women who really don't care what he looks
- like but are intrigued by the wit and diversity of interests he
- occasionally lets us get a glimpse of.
-
- What I still wonder about is why Ed appears to feel the need to keep
- others away so strongly--and so far he hasn't responded when I've asked
- him. (Hiya, Ed, doncha love the way we're psychoanalyzing you behind
- your back right in front of you?)

- Trygve (Now to see if I've won a spot in the Mixed Metaphor Hall of
- Fame.)
