About four minutes ago I received the following from my sister (via email) with a note attached that read: "I thought of you when I read this."

"Being manly is not being macho. Manliness is the positive qualities of decisiveness, strength in one's convictions, confidence, self-reliance, high moral qualities, self discipline, honesty and integrity. A man who is manly has courage to be able to deal with difficulty, pain or danger without backing away despite his fear." - Unknown

Sounds like the epitome of a gentleman to me.
