Thank you so much. I realize this was a very broad question that was probably poorly worded, but you gave me the answer I was looking for. I really appreciate your insight. I wonder whether there is a correlation between the number of variables in a situation and the duration of the puppy-love type excitement of a new situation: it seems to make sense that the more variables there are, the more opportunities for excitement exist...the more opportunity for excitement, the more prolonged the newness. What do you think?
