LLAM:  I must say, you all have been doing a splendid job keeping up as of late.  Thank you.

ROY: Wow!  Thank YOU!  I still feel like we're a month behind.

LLAM:  Perhaps you are in some things, I don't let that bother me very often.  The most important thing that you can do is to stay in touch with our Members and Associates as best you can simply because we have a number of people who are depending on us for great things and small.

ROY:  Alright.  I've been doing a lot of that lately.

LLAM:  What are those things that you're eating?

ROY: Cherries.

LLAM:  They seem to be really nutritious, are they known for that?  In the mortal world, I mean.

ROY:  I don't......really know.  I suppose that I should because I'm an amateur herbalist, but I don't.  But they sure as hell taste good.

LLAM:  So I gather! (smiles)  You and Sara did a wonderful job on that latest video.  "A Little Handbook Of Reality."  I like it a lot!  I think what I like most is that you're open about us not having "all of the answers."  Umm...you're going to get the link to YouTube?

ROY:  Yeah, brb.  Here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kZl0MoL7Pw

LLAM:  That's not going to link to one of those Ukrainian songs your daughter has been listening to, is it?

ROY: No.  I checked it when I added it.

LLAM:  You know, most of us devas don't grasp the idea of nationalities or ethnic groups very well.  Or the different religions you all seem to follow.  I mean, we have the basic facts in our minds, but it just doesn't make sense.  You're all human beings.  You're all alike in some ways, but there are physical differences enough I should think, to keep you occupied.  Three genders and something like four major races.  Seems to me that adding your beliefs into the things that separate you is needless.

ROY:  Three genders?

LLAM:  Yeah, we count those who are hermaphrodites, and who really should be the "other gender" as the third.  Just a convenience.

ROY:  I used to think that most of what we are gender-wise was hardwired into us.  Men are mostly male with a few female touches here and there.  Women are mostly female except for a few extra hairs and a tatoo on the biceps.  But it's not true!  Women have what at least socially are considered "masculine traits," while men have more "feminine"traits then they know.  The trick is in defining what is masculine and feminine.

LLAM:  So?  define!

ROY:  (sighs)  I'm gonna step in shit again, I can see it!  [Llam laughs]  Okay; first difference that makes for a definition is the body's reaction to physical pain.  Women simply can endure a lot more pain than men.  Second is physical endurance.  Women can keep at something that demands physical exertion a lot longer than men.  In the hardwiring of the brain, male brains tend for the anayltic areas while female brains seem hardwired for the intuitive side to work at peak effciency.

LLAM:  Well, a good but cautious start.  From what I see among you, it's not that women can't be logical and analytical, they just are more inclined to be intuitive.  Some of that is cultural embeds to be sure, but the nature of the brain is the ground for these things. 

ROY:  One of the things that I learned from Sara when we first met is that an ethereal person can change genders if they're of a mind.  Hold on, I want to listen to some tunes - there!

LLAM:  I like the Beach Boys.

ROY:  What?

LLAM:  I do!  That fellow Brian Wilson is one of the few people in your culture that made fun music.

ROY:  Oh.  yeah!  Well....you know, growing up, I would always listen to their stuff when it came on the radio.  I liked it then, I like it now.  And for anyone reading this, "Heroes and Villains," the original Beach Boys version, is what was just playing.

LLAM:  I like this fellow too!  Jorma Kaukonen!

ROY:  (Stares at Llam for a long moment)  Uhh, yeh, he was with the Jefferson Airplane in the 1960's.

(Llam is swaying in time with the song "Genesis")

(Roy and the rest of the OC Home start dancing and swaying)

DIOTH:  Who knew?  I should close this!  (swaying)
