	Well, you KNOW I couldn't let this fly by without putting my 1.6
	cents in.

	What I LOVE about Matt is he ISN'T perfect looking.  But he
	definitely has character.  Most of the HUNKS on TV have blond hair
	or black hair.  You don't see too many brown haired hunks.  And I
	personnally have the same shade as hair as Matt so there is one
	plus in his favour.

	You think he stoops???  Hmmm,  I have never noticed this at all.
	And I would definitely never call him skinny.  Thin maybe, but not
	skinny.  And gee,  I thought he has been putting on weight the past
	year or so.  When I look at Matt I see a a tall guy, with great
	shoulders, a too-die-for chest (on a guy that is) that looks great
	in anything he wears.  

	I also love his eyes!!  They can say so much without him opening
	his mouth.  And then onto his mouth.  It isn't too big, isn't too
	small,  when it smiles one (this one at least) dies.  It is a smile
	that has lots of character.

|> >flame on me for this but I have to know: WHAT DO YOU SEE IN HIM?? 

	And yes,  his personality helps a little too.  Not only has he
	proven that he can act.  And not just one type of acting.  On DAYS
	he has done the serious scenes, he has done the comedy (both
	improvised and the written stuff), and he has successfully changed
	a hated villian (one who one the villian of the year in 1988 or
	89?) to a loved hero.  

	And on that hero not.  He is not your typical hero.  He doesn't run
	around using people as punching bags, waving a gun in the air,
	saving the lady in distress.  When he tries to be the hero it
	usually gets all messed up and it just good luck that helps him
	come out on top.  

	There really isn't another character like Jack Deveraux.  Most
	daytime men, when finding out they are going to be fathers, are
	estatic.  Jack,  on hearing the news,  stayed true to form, and
	immediately thought he would be a father like his two dads.  

	Well,  I could go on and on and on.  But, I have to get to work :(.
	So I guess we shall have to continue this later.

Being married to Jack Deveraux is like cuddling up with Chuckles the Clown
              and a depressed pit bull at the same time.
