Yes, I have my wife to thank for my ‘new, improved, diplomacy’.

She said when I am dealing with people; I can do anything I want as long as I don’t have any fun.

I’ve been trying that for a while, now. I find every one now loves me but I don’t seem to be enjoying myself as much as before.

O’ Well………..Maybe there is an upside to this new strategy ……..somewhere down-the-road.

By-the-way, I sincerely apologized to Betty ‘64 as you commanded I do but she is still mad at me even after all these years for calling her 1st grade (5 & 6 year olds) classmates ‘twerps’. Again, I’m sorry, Betty! Maybe I should have instead just called them ‘cookie crumblers’, and maybe I would have stayed out of trouble. However, notice I am NOT calling them any of those bad words, now. From now on, I just call them Doctors, Lawyers, Airplane Pilots and Mayors. ‘Twerps’ has been erased from vocabulary.
