However, no one ever choked swallowing their own ego (I should know that too!). Just last week I sent off a heated email to 20-30 of my closest friends berating the fact that none of them found the time or desire to attend the funeral of a friend's father. This was not my business. It was not my place to scold anyone. I was disappointed but that was my problem to deal with. One of these days I will learn to keep my big mouth shut. One of these days. Thanks to scholars like yourself, Doug, and your willingness to share your knowledge, I learn more every day. :-) “I’m sorry” always seem to be bitter words to swallow (I should know!).
