I don't believe you can get that level of outward calm that Fraser demonstrates without having to have gone through a lot of rage, directed at whomever was closest.

Right,yes, exactly--and Bob's not there. I suspect that Bob would be the target of most of this, and I'm also guessing that Fraser loves his grandfather desperately for his availability as a punching bag, if you understand me.

Otherwise he'd just be all repression and then a psycho.

RIGHT!--I meant to imply that this was something that kept him healthy in the long run; a GOOD thing!

Thanks for the great comments!!
