I had earlier written that the table I sat at was the best and I stand by that statement. Right now I’ll just assume it was your youthful ignorance that led you to challenge me on this. ☺<br /><br />I appreciate your comments about my attire. Trust me, Nick, this was not a comfortable way to dress for me. You can bet that within minutes of returning home I was stripped down to a more comfortable ensemble. I’ve lobbied long and hard to host these events at locales where we can dress properly but my arguments seem to fall on deaf ears.<br /><br />And for the record, I have quite a few suits because I attend enough events to demand that have a selection to choose from. But, for every suit I own, I also own at least 30 aloha shirts—and that’s the way thing ought to be.<br /><br />I have to agree, too, that the noise level was quite high. This was a situation where the noise level grew louder and as a result people spoke even louder just to be heard. It was a never ending back and forth. I was prepared to rise to challenge the room to quiet down. I wasn’t sure which would be more effective: rising and just shushing the crowd or rising and yelling to shut up. In the long run, it’s probably better that I did neither.<br /><br />And your comment about lifelong attachments, just look to Peter Lee and Bill Vederman who, after attending school together nearly a half century ago, are still pals. That says a lot.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.com
