Ya' gotta know when to fold 'em

So, we were at a wedding this afternoon. An elegant affair. At dinner, the waiters even came around and refolded napkins. I was sitting alone at the table while everyone else was up dancing (too hot to do the Hora). Our server appeared and carefully folded the napkin of the guy next to me..and then placed it at the plate of the woman two seats down. It made me wonder just how far in the training process Armando had progressed. He clearly "owned" the idea of the neat napkin but hadn't quite yet mastered the concept of the personal napkin.

Taking Chutzpah to the Next Level

Well, that's just great. They're letting the Lockerbie bomber go free on "compassionate grounds" 'cuz he has prostate cancer. Isn't that special! How about compassion for the 270 victims, their families, and their friends? One can only imagine the Olympic level mental gymnastics that the judge or judges had to perform to rationalize this one. I promised myself that when I retired I wouldn't let things bother me...but this one makes my blood boil.
