I'm not sure what this means, Carolyn. I never had any concept - never- 
ever - of a Mr Right. I had always thought such a cultural notion mythic.

I simply enjoy-- usually with great pleasure and satisfaction in the 
moment, the "Mr" (and once or twice the Ms) I am spending my present-day 
hours with. I honestly can't  say they were or are "mistakes" for this 
sounds like a ghastly betrayal to me.  Whether it's a day or two (?) as in 
Angel's case, or several weeks (as in the case of Tess) they were formative 
times and in many ways enriching albeit occasionally sad & disappointing 
(but that is also enriching).

I'm glad you feel I've "grasped the basics" but I'm not sure what they are. 
I have only ever been a "free lover"** and that's a perpetual learning 
experience -- to me
Best

Who is Joan Rivers?
