[MD] The MOQ and Death 2: The Quest for Immortality

[MarshaV]

John,

What are 'mommy tendencies'?  Are they a generalized definition 
that you've put together relative to some social definition, your 
individual history and your present experience?  A definition, at this
point, that you have not shared.  

I could, of course, spend a few days waxing poetic in the style of xacto?
Delicious words that might make Lord Arioch blush.  Would that be
enough to eject me from the mommy category?
