Woman, about late husband: "He was a man of few words, and by the time we got married, he had already said them."
Nothing reduces your need for someone's approval like getting to know them better.
I don't suggest we give up the idea that there's a little good in everyone, but, by gosh, it would certainly explain a lot of things.
I'll just say this -- that nothing makes a good first impression on me like an obvious attempt to do so.
Not only do I believe in dressing for an occasion, I believe it's the way to make it an occasion.
I've come to realize this -- that "smart casual" is not some particular style of dress; it is anything a smart casual person shows up wearing.
Sometimes it's got to be fate, as when two people meet and discover they not only share the same likes and dislikes but the same don't give a damns.
