In unrelated news, this is too close to my experience to be funny.
I still remember many years ago a young lady who exclaimed at one point after we'd dated a bit, "You're not actually narrow minded!"
I should be complimented that she was willing to date me anyway. At the time, it was amusing. After decades, it wears you down.
Although as one friend (on the left) once commented about me, living in Ann Arbor all these decades has had surprisingly little effect on me!
On the contrary. It only bolsters me!
