The dramas were great but I really liked the comedies more. There was always this bit of self-deprecating humor involved. Later Gregory Peck started to replace him. Smart, athletic, sensitive. I knew it was love when I read that of all the characters he played, he felt that Atticus Finch was the closest to the real him. As for men still living, I do like John Cusack. But he will never replace Grant or Peck. Best qualities? Listening and thoughtfulness. Actually the first can be evidenced by the second. Long ago I dated a guy, who is still a friend, and what really got me was that when I thought he wasn't listening, he really was. Because he would surprise me with gifts that showed he had actually been listening. Like the time he showed up with some videos and a tub of red vines because he remembered that once I had said that my fave candy while watching a movie was red vines.

Love that boyish look. I'd like to teach him a few things. What's this obsession with Scrabble? With my ideal man I'm going to play Scrabble? It is to laugh. I choose Steven Colbert.

What’s this obsession with Scrabble? With my ideal man I’m going to play Scrabble? It is to laugh.

It feels like home. That's also why I would want a man around who could be handy, so I don't continually have a bunch of broken crap lying around. Neil,
