Wow, we must be on some psychot…no, psychosi…no, psychic wavelengths. Only today I was complaining bitterly that my phrase “I’m gonna call my cousing Vito from Joisey” just doesn’t translate well into Thai.

Seriously: I love the site, very much enjoy when you respond to my silly emails. But, if you’re too busy and would prefer I not send those little titbits, it’s not a problem. Really. I won’t be crushed. Honestly. And just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t there coming after me.

Well said, Bob. I think I’ve met both Vinnie and Vito, at least once. Or maybe it was my wife just before she attached the hot wires to both sides of my head.

Here’s my “first rule of being heard”: “If you want someone to hear what you’re saying, begin by listening to them.” It usually brings on a deer-in-headlights expression, a long pause, then a startled “WHAT?!”
