Larry's always whacking me with his big words - in this particular case, I am at a loss to know whether he considers me more as «an undefeatable archenemy, an unconquerable opponent» or «a danger or threat to well-being», or both. But in the end I allow myself to be reassured by his choosing to use the adjective in the phrase «my other friends». Let us hope that, despite our sometimes widely divergent points of view, we can remain just that, «friends», who make use of this forum in the never-ending attempt to better understand ourselves and each other. I hope these sentiments are not inappropriate to the Season, however it be called.......
I amn't a polyglot like my Swedish nemesis, Henri, or my other friends like Flam, BD, Apo, Dr. Goodword, and many of the other 200 or so Lexitarians here, but I am opinionated at times. Just another friendly "Ugly American."
