When I was in the 8th grade, I was madly "in love" with
Patti Jo. At the graduation party she actually came up to
me and asked me if I want to dance. Since there were 40
some witnesses present who could talk about my clumsiness I
said no. That has bothered me for more than 40 years.
Just to prove the point, the worst landing I ever made was
with 3 FAA Inspectors on the airplane.

HOW could that

| No, that's not it. I understand that humans are all
uniquely wired,
| and that different folks are interested in different
things.
|
| However, I simply can't understand any sentient being
passing up the

affordable,

| This young lady was offered the chance to do something
that very few
| people will *ever* get to do, doing something that many
would give
| anything to experience. Her refusal to take the yoke was
an unusual
| display of timid behavior coming from someone who is
normally far from
| timid -- which is why I remain puzzled and post my
experience here.

| Your saying, by way of explanation, that "Everyone is
different" only
| states the obvious, but doesn't really address the
situation or explain
| the experience.
