Communicating

I wish people who have trouble communicating would just shut up.

~ Tom Lehrer

I agree with the idea that we often see or hear what we expect or want to see or hear.  I think that is actually a pretty good thing for optimists.  Not so much for pessimists.  I know that the optimists would agree with me.  They're like that.  Agreeable.

I like to think that I'm optimistic.  Not always.  Sometimes.  I try.

For example, from the other day...

Leslie:  (mumbles something)

Me:  I'm ecstatic, too!

Leslie:  I said, "I'm STATICKY!!!"
