J,
Since you prefer to reply to my private playful poke with a display of drama
set in a public forum, here goes. My apologies to the rest of the V.
A. It's just an expression. Goodness knows I'm as familiar with you as I
would ever want to be, if not more so.Obviously, in your case, "respect"
will never be a pressing concern.
B. I would have thought that after waving me down in the street to deliver a
foam flecked, vein bulging, heavily gesticulated rant, we could consider
ourselves introduced. Next time you stop me to "chat" I'll make a point of
performing the formal and official "how d' do's" and pleased ta meetcha's.
(although if you remember back to a city council meeting a year or so ago,
on a topic of mutual interest, we already enacted that little ritual)
C. Since your heartfelt missive came as a reply to a post I had made to
hansen, I guess I leapt to a silly and erroneous conclusion. Imagine the
huge sigh of relief collectively heaved by the greater Crabtree clan. We can
now dry our eye's and get on with our wretched little lives.
Thanks for thinking of me,
gc
