Well, Munc, you just never know.

Years ago, at a company party, I had to be charming to a big deal boss of Mr. B's who was telling me all about how people from Venus lived among us, he was sure. Ohhh, the things company wives must endure. I chewed the inside of my mouth raw almost to keep from laughing hysterically and snorting my gin and tonic, the one and only I ever allowed myself at a company party, right out through my nose. But just think if Rosetta Stone had been available then and I could have begun speaking in fluent Venusian. Just think what a really charming company wife I could have been. Alas. No Rosetta Stone back then though.

And Linda, that is funny about the haircut. One of my friends was trying to ask a German visitor something that turned out to be, "Do you want to take a bath?" I do not know what she was trying to say, but it wasn't that. He must have thought American women to be extremely friendly.

I still haven't sprung for the thing. I am torn between Spanish and Italian, though most of my genes are screaming for German.

Oh my goodness, it is after midnight. I do not allow myself to type after midnight.

Goodnight.
