Various friends have provided some notes and comments that I thought you would enjoy.
Here's the first one. My friend writes: "I'd like to share a little anecdote that happened in the office the other day. Young Judy, the editor of a trivia publication, was having trouble with her computer. So she called Prem, the computer guy, over to her desk. Prem clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, Judy called after him, 'So, what was wrong?' And he replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.' A puzzled expression ran riot over Judy's face. 'An ID ten T error? What's that.in case I need to fix it again?' He gave her a grin. 'Haven't you ever heard of ID ten T error?' No, she replied. 'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.' She wrote - IDIOT, and suddenly, it all became quite clear."
The following is intended to be shared during National Friendship Week, although my calendar does not list the date of that event. Here 'tis.
