Thanks for the reality check

Come to think of it, I suppose what I most envy about Spike is that he doesn't NEED to question everything or analyze it to death (as I am wont to do), being able to find more than enough interest and excitement in simply BEING in the world and wading into fights with no guarantee that he'll be able to win or even survive. I never took French (Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, and German, only), so bear with me, but what would you call that gleeful attitude of Spike's? Not 'joi de vivre' (or however you spell it), but maybe 'joi de morte'?

Okay, now I'm starting to think in terms of "eros" vs. "thanatos", and the last thing any of us need right now is for me to think some more!

Anyway, thanks for your good wishes, and for your tolerant and kind friendship!
