I have a couple of young male friends who once made a science of flirting. They read books about it, fastidiously putting what they learned into practice. Until talking to them, I never knew of the volumes of material written on the subject. I assumed people just followed their instincts. No. Flirting has been raised … Continue reading –>

It was November, 1966. My husband was in the Army and I was at home with our young son. Our second child was due in January.
