As I polished off my glass of wine (a wonderful 2013 Barolo, heavy on the silky tannins, stone fruits, and with a classic mid-weight nose profile), and watched Roger give yet another truly humble and gracious interview, it got me thinking that I share so much in common with the man. Like me, Roger pays an extraordinary attention to detail, and has a work ethic and professionalism that continuously ranks him above his peers. He has an uncanny ability to read a situation, and to take strong combative action when needed. He keeps himself in incredible shape, and while I have never reached the pinnacle of any sport, my times in 10k, half marathon, and triathlon are the envy of men 15 years younger than me. He's a huge believer in the restorative powers of sauna - a belief I'm fully in agreement with. He took some time out last year when he knew his mind and body weren't with it. This was a brave decision, and it has stood him well. I took some time out myself last year to refocus and recharge my batteries. The highlight of this was spending a number of weeks in the Canadian wilderness building a log cabin from the ground up with a number of other people. I got back in touch with the essence of what makes me a human, and what I have to give to the world. In Roger's case, this is at least two or three more Grand Slam titles; in my case, it represents continuing to be at the vanguard of European Finance. So is there anyone in the public sphere who you see many of the same attribute and qualities in as yourself? I've received a few nasty PM's recently from people who appear to share many of the same attributes as Cheech and Chong, or Luke 'Ming' Flanagan, but I'm not going to tar everyone on this site with the same brush.

I'm sure the women who date him know the score. And if they don't, they should. He's been with a procession of hot women, love, you're not different! :pac:
