<p>Defining “introvert” as above, I say Yes to half and No to half. So I’m not sure I get much from this test.</p>
<p>I would say that my “suffering” would be more tolerable if my wife and I were BOTH suffering…and if we were both “extroverted” in expressing this suffering to each other. Misery is somewhat ameliorated by company. </p>
<p>Re the sports fan thing: I’m not getting much of rise out of the moms on this one. Any dads out there, or am I it? </p>
<p>Moving to a pub culture means getting off the couch, doesn’t it? It means changing ME. Are you serious? Anyway, I’m older than most of you, I would guess. Changing only gets harder. Especially if it means exchanging someone who shouts KNOWLEDGEABLY at the TV set for a dumb play call for a bunch of rowdies… </p>
<p>Speaking of old, I just got back from a concert: Gene Pitney and Lesley Gore. I can’t even look at the crowd anymore. Soon they will be wheeling the crowd in as well as the oldies acts. I am trying to like Coldplay, really I am.</p>
