Maybe you are right. I don't remember the words.."yeah, I'll try again with you" coming out of my mouth. I think the invite to dinner was essentially saying I'd try, but maybe she's obtuse. :P But maybe I wasn't crystal clear. Part of the reason for that is that I'm not clear myself that it's fair to say "I'd like to try". That is a little strong. In my mind, it's more like I'd like to see if there is any reason to try. Know what I mean?
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
