Fran, you have made me feel much better now. I was really feeling down in the dumps this morning after reading Marilyn’s chiding. Thanks for your kind understanding. I have done somewhat the same thing relative to ethnic things. I guess Ruthie is right when she says I should put my brain in gear before I start running my mouth. She also thinks I should do a little penance. Next time we go to Florida, we should stop in to see you and also Marilyn and take you all to dinner. I said, that ain’t penance, that would be fun. For awhile, she said, until you had to open up your wallet, you old tightwad and pay for it. I guess Ruthie knows me better than I think.
