    No, D., no relation.

    However.

    When my mother in law embarked (with my encouragement)
    on her second (& evidently very happy marriage) at the age
    I myself have now reached (God help me), she arrived as
    a new (if not exactly blushing) bride in Toronto - where she
    was at once plunged into acute & distressing feelings of unreality.
    On every side, through radio & television outlets, in public
    placards, on the lips of all her new acquaintances, came whispering
    once again, inescapably, the name of her favourite son in law.
    Only not, this time, in his familiar drunken, aesthetic, sociopathic
    guise - but transfigured now as the McCavity of Sport. It was only
    with great difficulty that her new groom persuaded her to stay.

    I'm amazed he's still at it. And how I envy that: 'rigorous &
enigmatic.'
    It's the exact self-image that lurks hopelessly inside every gabby old
    dotard.

    Scottie B.
