Okay, here is the thing that happened this weekend which I am still pondering. I think it is relevant to the discussions on this BB. Saturday evening FSG was on the phone with his brother. He was pacing about from room to room so I couldn't help but overhear part of the convo. Anyways, I heard him laugh and say " I got my swagger back on." . Now, I haven't often heard a man actually say the equivalent of this but I've definitely gotten this signal in the past. When I was young, naive and stupid (like one day before I joined this BB) I would misinterpret this signal and therefore react inappropriately. This weekend my reaction was to be amused and philosophical because it's pretty clear to me that when my cow and my monkey team up they generally engage in truly well-meant but rather short-sighted behavior that is roughly equivalent to handing the wino on the corner a gift certificate to the party store.
Back to work.
