    According to my "sister", the only important soap opera is where MacGyver is in.

    So General Hospital, no argument at all.

    Exactly. And it's not like that information isn't easily available, esp. if you are a wealthy person like he described that woman. My guess is that it was something else entirely, making her unhappy. I also suspect that HE brought up religion first, and she used that as a key to conversation. He described her as "very attractive;" possibly she thought the same about him and was hoping for "comfort"?
