When my first traditional kilt arrived last Friday, I called Karen to tell her and she was more excited than I- seriously. I had been of the mind that while she liked kilts and was sort of into my wearing them, I was also being indulged to some extent. Not so! [OK, I *am* being indulged since at no time in our past has anyone in this household dropped a few thousand dollars so quickly on anything, but I don't feel as though I am being 'tolerated'.]

That is my present technique. Good humored stuff is one thing, but when someone intends to insult me, it gets my blood stirred. We had a discussion about this recently, as in how to acknowledge folks who shout things in your wake. Karen told me to ignore them. Ok, sounds good, but wouldn't you know that a few days later while we were strolling along a sidewalk outside a plaza, someone said something behind us. I ignored it , but the wife immediately gave them a not-so-nice gesture in retaliation. I started laughing. She never fails to surprise me.
