Greetings (to all those who are old hands here) and salutations (to those recently dropping in such as snake and the pals of Al) to all!
I'd say I'd say I'm sorry and promise to do better next time (both of which are true and well meant!) ... but I've a confession to make which applies here.
To wit (and I know this may sound a bit rambling):
Oman, Jenny, I was (and am) so happy to hear that the events in your city passed you by ... I hope that such events continue to have you as mere spectators ... more, that even such such an out of the way association is too close. I would that such items touch you as only old news and far distant, if that at all.
That incident, followed by the senseless acts in Colorado ...
I do promise to do better next time, but that promise is to myself, a pledge to improve myself. To you, to those I have come to care about and those I will in the future, next time is insufficient. It is this time that is important. That mythical "next time" may never be, and to fall short now with the thought I'll make it up "next time" is ... a falsehood.
I pledge to say now what I would have said "next time" ... and in so doing never again find myself wishing "if only ...".
