%%- Brain span that matches life span can be achieved. Researches show brain has plasticity and doesn't stop developing after a certain age like people used to believe. Memory and mental alertness don't have to degenerate with age. Old dogs can learn new tricks after all. What a relief. %%- ---Dogs, Flowers, and Men--- Women say dogs are better than men because dogs are loyal and when they kiss you they mean it. Or they say flowers are better than men because you can love flowers without reservation and they'll never hurt you. Come on! Are men really that terrible? Haven't they met nice men before? The problem is not men but the men women choose. Looking for a man who's honest and confident in himself? That's me. Someone courageous, kind, sensitive and gentle? Me again. A man who's intelligent, supportive and funny? Me, me and me. Just kidding. 2004/4/13-14
