Damn... the people in your life are very interesting, clever, and busy. I would have never guess most of those reasons. The people in your life sound like fun.

  You have no idea. That said, I also think that people open up to me a surprising amount because I'm willing to talk and listen. You never know what stories you'll hear. For example after 9/11 I had some interesting conversations with a woman who had been a minor princess there before the Russian invasion. She was the janitor who cleaned up the office I worked at at night. I believe that I was the only person in my company who was aware of her personal history. Stop and think about that. I bet that you've seen a lot of people with interesting histories that you know nothing about.

    I heard about that. I thought they died out years ago. I did not realize they are still alive. It might also be your demeanor. People seem to know who to trust through the little things. Do you act differently than most of the guys you're around with? Less judgmental, more ears than mouth? People confided in personal stories, but nothing close to the 9/11 janitor staff. Ever heard of ABM?

      Looking back at what I said, I suspect possible confusion. She was a minor princess in Afghanistan back in the 1970s. Not a Russian one. Having a princess from then still alive was not surprising. Realizing that I was talking to one, was. On me, I am friendly and outgoing to a fault. I'll talk to anyone about anything. I get to know people who others wouldn't think of talking to. People generally don't share their darkest secrets with me. But they will share odd stories.

        Oh, I see now. Thanks for clearing that up. Thanks again for sharing this. It's been fun.
