(54,437 posts)I will try to elaborate in a few days. I have to beg your patience on this one. Not being deliberately mysterious, but treading on eggshells as to details.

At this gathering, everyone wears name tags, no matter how known or unknown you are. It brings everyone to the same level, and that is always a good thing.

(54,437 posts)He and I were talking and a woman came up and asked him what moved him to resign from the Senate. I think she meant something else and phrased it poorly. It came out like she had no clue what had happened. Al and I both stared open-mouthed at her, and Al looked at me and said, YOU tell her! and walked away. She realized what she had said, and remarked, that came out wrong.
I said I thought so, too, as she obviously DID know why he left the Senate.

I don't live in the USA, so no State Farm agent, but my Dallas dentist? Oh, yeah, I still see him when I'm back in Dallas, so I got a card from him.
