DISCLAIMER: I have considered myself to be an armchair anthropologist for many decades. I have a strong interest in regard to how people interact with each other. That's one of the many reasons why I became a journalist (1982 to 2017). Perhaps, I solidified my interest in anthropology when I took two university courses titled "Interpersonal Communications I and II" in the early 1980s, when I was in my early 20s.
Today is a day to honor "old maids," also known as spinsters (older, sometimes younger, women who never married nor have children). The number of old maids has increased in recent years and continues to increase rapidly. A recent scientific study determined that by 2030, at least 55 percent of women here in the United States are expected to be unmarried and childless.
Women who wait until their 30s because they are concentrating on their careers instead of marrying and starting families in their 20s are sadly discovering that men their own age actually prefer women who are younger than them, mainly for reasons of stronger fertility and less "baggage." It really is quite an interesting trend.
I recently read that financial investors are now focusing more on wine companies and cat food producers. It sounds like a joke, but it's true.
Also, I played the card game Old Maid when I was a young kid in the 1960s.

I enjoy almost all kinds of cheeses, but I would say that my favorite cheese is Leyden, a semisoft, mild Dutch cheese that contains whole cumin seeds and whole caraway seeds. Of course, I like the basic Italian cheeses: Ricotta, Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, and Gorgonzola. I also like a stinky Blue Cheese and an extra sharp orange Cheddar. ... and don't forget a sturdy Emmentaler.

I enjoyed the occasional cognac, but I haven't imbibed in quite a while.
