>  What is Love?

	Still working on that.  I Cor. 13 is quite close, but needs to
        be adapted to each one's particular circumstances.

>  How do you know you're in Love?

	Ah, an easy question, for once.  When *I'M* "in love", I experience
	an incredible increase in efficiency.  I'm usually WEEKS ahead of
	my pre-planned work schedule.  New ideas seem to flow easily and
	fit together beautifully to solve problems.

	Unfortunately, the above situation can become counterproductive with
	the wrong SO!  A sudden, fantasic idea just BEGS to be worked out,
	and then she complains that I love the computer more than her!
	And the typical advice given to people when they break up "well, just
	get REALLY involved in your work." doesn't work if you're AHEAD
	of schedule.  Also, those great ideas don't get pursued when you're
	heart is emotionally shot out ("They took my heart out and stomped
	that Sucker flat!" "If love were oil, I'd be a couple of quarts
	low")

	Facetiously now:  Occasionally, I've toyed with the idea of
	running a personal ad, asking for ladies who would like to
	serve as the inspiration for a poor Ph.D. student doing his
	thesis.  The way things are going now, that might not be a
	bad idea.
