That kind of thing is precisely the reason we have 2
computers - his and hers. The only drawback is that we
both can't be online at the same time. It was worse
before my daughter's old computer gave up the ghost, 3
of us competing for the phone line!

As someone who knows Mitch, yes, Jamieson is much
better off without him! The striped-trousers incident
is the least of it, but that's for Jamieson to share.
Things are still very bad for him while they're living
in the same apartment and I'm sure Jamieson could use
everyone's good wishes.

I once had a date drag me out of a movie 10 minutes
into it (yup, 10 minutes). It was 'The Name of the
Father', which he realised he'd already seen. I had
NOT seen it, and was extremely miffed. He heard about
in very strong words over coffee afterwards. And, no,
I did not go out with him again. He didn't seem to get
the point that he could have asked me if I minded
leaving, instead of simply telling me we were leaving.

I did walk out of a play at our National Arts Centre a
large number of years ago (back when I could afford
season's tickets). I don't recall the name, but we
left during intermission and never returned).

Sheryll, not usually absent but somehow still
perpetually behind
