Thoughts on Intelligence

There was a question on a meme on a friend's Facebook that asked how important intelligence is in a partner. I used to have a theory that everyone is intelligent at about the same level, barring some sort of disability or unusual genius in the outliers, that each of us just uses our intelligence to a different extent depending on the impact of other factors like physical beauty, social abilities, cultural or family expectations, etc. Now I'm thinking that there are various levels of natural intelligence and just like athletic ability or any other talent, one is skilled in it to the sum of whatever God-given amount one has, plus one's own practicing and honing that ability or not.

Anyhoo... I do think that partners should have similar intelligence to each other, whether their intelligence is at a 1 or a 10. Intelligence has a direct impact on conversation, sense of humor, etc. - all the things that contribute to a happy daily life.

In other news... Jeff wanted to start exercising, which I think is awesome, so I am walking the 'hood with him every morning before I get Lauren up for school. Bonus-- I get two workouts a day now. Gotta keep up the kickboxing. HA!

Kanye West has purchased a penthouse in one of the new condos downtown. Yeesh. Why.
