Okay, I posted this "poll" over at Newcomers. Thought I'd put it here, too.

Serious question. I'm not being frivolous or cute.

You may recall that at one time Dia (seconded by Coach) double-dog-dared me to lighten up a Mediator meeting by showing up with Groucho Marx mustache glasses or those glasses with "the googly eyes on springs!"

I never did (Damn!).

Back to question: years ago, Mrs.G and I talked on the phone for weeks before finally meeting. We made a date to meet the first time. She said,"How will I recognize you?" I jokingly said, "I'll be the one wearing a red carnation."
And I was. I did. First time I laid eyes on her.

I was thinking of wearing one to court tomorrow. Not to be cute, not to be romantic, not to be sentimental, nor ironic, nor sarcastic or even wise-ass.

Just to "complete the circle," so to speak.

And to perhaps lighten an occasion that could use some lightening up.

So, I'm curious: whaddaya think?
