I also claimed to be more modest than he is, but since neither one of us has a shred of modesty, it's hard to tell us apart on that point.Duke_of_Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358279187766938462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1121341428595382892005-07-14T06:43:00.000-05:002005-07-14T06:43:00.000-05:00Karyn: What you actually said was, "I guess your ...Karyn: <BR/><BR/>What you <I>actually</I> said was, "I guess your neck was tired from holding up that big head."

Maybe...?<BR/><BR/>Aw, shucks! OK, I'm bragging and I'm probably going to get punished for it. (But it was fun!)<BR/><BR/>And Judy (Kenju): "Aging jocks??" I prefer to think of it not as ego, but perhaps as "youthful exuberance." Btw, be carefull talking about Hummers -- you're liable to get Karyn going on THAT subject again.Duke_of_Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358279187766938462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1121313015100317002005-07-13T22:50:00.000-05:002005-07-13T22:50:00.000-05:00My husband could have written this poem!

And I also said "when" you get published...not "if". I thought that was nice. <BR/><BR/>Oh well, I guess if you find inspiration for poetry from my pointing out something you already said, and I quote:<BR/><BR/>"I can do this!
