Are you sure you and Miss Manners aren't half-sisters? Do you REALLY
know where your dad was on some of those nights when he wasn't home?
"-) Go, Dad!! Your father's grace and manner remind me of a woman with
whom I once worked: When we went to lunch and someone else was picking
up the check, she'd always order large (with enough to take home) with a
laughing, "Well, since Tim is buying, I'll have _FITB_." Your story
reminds me of hers because it was an opposite attitude and behavior. :-/

I believe I'll pass this along to Beck for lessons with Sam. Thanks,
Elaine.
