I was busy taking care of my wife's "honey due" list.

Just finished trimming rose bushes, got stuck by thorns a number of times... ouch. But, the feeling was not as painful as the one I got while reading your reply. I did not know whether to put on a "life jacket" because you torpedoed my boat or a bullet proof vest cause you came on with the Guns of Navarone.

Kidding aside "thanks" for taking the time to reply. I must admit I was disappointed after reading your response. I was hoping you are actually answering my "call for help" with great suggestions, maybe offering your assistance, or nominating great candidate. Do you have anyone in mind?

I realize crafting your detailed reply took some time so I will acknowledge that your comments have a lot of value and good points. You and I will have ample opportunities to discuss these and many others in the future and in person. In the mean time, help us all by re-focusing on the original theme of my post. The committee is looking for strong candidates willing to work hard at the risk of being totally um-appreciated, have the skills needed to get the "comprehensive plan mission" accomplished and can maintain sense of humor even under pressure from the unhappy few.

My wife is giving me one of those looks.... got to go now to celebrate holiday.  Have an enjoyable weekend and happy Valentine's Day to all those reading this message today.
