Time for the Thursday Thumb-Twiddler<\/a> …<\/p>\n

1. Would you remain in a marriage if you found out your mate had had an affair? What if it had happened more than once?<\/b><\/p>\n

I probably would, but it would be a pretty badly damaged marriage, with a lot of trust issues wrenched out of joint. Of course, clearly there would be a lot of problems already, if Margie decided she had to go outside the marriage to have an affair, without even discussing it with me.<\/p>\n

2. If you knew that if you devoted yourself to any single occupation — music, writing, acting, business, politics, medicine, etc. — and be among the best and most successful in the world, what would you choose?<\/b><\/p>\n

It would probably be writing. It’s something I’ve had a hankering to do, have enjoyed doing, and would like to do again some day. Well, beyond this blog.<\/p>\n

3. What word or short phrase should people say more often?<\/b><\/p>\n

“Please.” And\/or “Thank you.” “My mistake” would be a good one, too. And “After you.”<\/p>\n

Politeness: it’s the lubrication system in the engine which is life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
