(liza) Oppenheimer and Einstein Steepling

Hi Dad!

How are you today? And how is Mom? I thought you'd find this kind if interesting, and funny.

This, of all things, is the picture often used to demonstrate that "steepling" gesture we were talking about last week. I guess in the business world they want to show that smart people use steepling - some funky irritating use of Einstein again.



Actually, the way he's doing it here is nowhere NEAR as offensive as it's usually done (in fact it's not offensive-looking at all, in my opinion) - he just looks thoughtful to me - but that has to do with the HEIGHT of his hands. It's all so interesting. Obnoxious business negotiators hold their steeples up very sharp and pointy, and waaaay high up. Women, so as not to overstep subtle boundaries of submissiveness and so on, will never hold such a sharp steeple - theirs would be more rounded, and down in the lap area (or table if she's a real b-buster). Isn't it funny?

Anyhow, thought you'd like this......

Love love love!! Liza
