Step Right Up Folks....

I heard on the radio this morning that scientist have pretty much pinpointed how long passionate love lasts. Apparently, when you are in that stage of euphoria – that walking on air, can’t sleep, can’t eat, smiling from ear to ear phase – your body produces what they are calling a Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the blood. They studied single people, people in long term relationships and people who had recently fallen in love. The last group had much higher levels of NGF in their blood. A year later, when they studied the same groups, the level of NGF in the last group had dropped to the same as the first two groups.

As we can all well imagine – and what they noted on the radio as well – is that it’s just a matter of time before someone figures out a way to manufacture this stuff and sell it on television like some side-show flim-flam man at a carnival. Passion in a bottle. Or maybe it will come in a tube, like ointment.
