Hi Joe Dees -

Intention is often laid aside, as in "should've's". And intentions are
laid down in laws that are barely enforced much less adhered to.
And often, intentions produce babies, although, selection (from a very
good olfactory experiment where women chose 'good mates') might prefer a
good whiff first, and neglect the well-intentioned, but off-smelling,
choice of the matchmaker.
Chauffers get theirs.
Intention remains, for me, problematic.
And yet, I've stood on principle several times, with very definite
negative outcomes, both to my pocketbook and my esteem, in this culture.
And, I fully intended to fall in love, and, a few times, I have.
Wishes and hopes.
- Wade
