An exquisite essay about a universal and visceral human impulse. Universal in general, but unique in the specifics. We all see beauty differently. And as I age, I appreciate my own gender just as much as the opposite one. Thanks for bringing all of my own thoughts into focus, Cathy. Lots to digest here.

By the way, I'm just like your husband when it comes to gorgeous teenage girls. When they all crowd into Starbucks before high school starts in the morning, it's time for me to leave. Beauty comes with age. My view, if not Hollywood's.

Thank you! Gosh, two men who appreciate older women! Anyway, you had me at "exquisite."
