But yes TLP, it is quite amusing to witness a 5'2" ponytailed hippy get a 6'1" (I'm guessing) curmudgeon to try to come up with something positive to share in our meetings. It does help that there is food provided, as even curmudgeons are comfortable praising food.<BR/><BR/>By the way Doug, I think I'm going to include the transcripts of this in our next meetings agenda...what do you think about that idea?Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316244154670854155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1164518131430845862006-11-25T21:15:00.000-08:002006-11-25T21:15:00.000-08:00Passive Aggressive...(grumble..grumble..);)Passive Aggressive...(grumble..grumble..);)Mistress Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428012025518812829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1164515896596335122006-11-25T20:38:00.000-08:002006-11-25T20:38:00.000-08:00ah...now see? i *knew* there was more to this part...ah...now see? i *knew* there was more to this particular tale -- it had "private joke" written all over it. thanks for shedding a bit more light on those oh-so-important missing elements, Squaregirl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1164505139630154882006-11-25T17:38:00.000-08:002006-11-25T17:38:00.000-08:00TLP -- you are a riot.

A forty something hippy, Italian vegetarian (I think) who likes to do yoga, meditate, talk about his feelings and bake peanut butter cookies (delicious, I might add) for our meetings as he touts the value of a comfortable and open meeting environment (I agree). Plus he makes Doug say something ppositive that happened to him at the beggining of every meeting. He is the perfect Yin to Doug's Yang and I like to tell Doug what an endearing couple I think the two of them are!Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316244154670854155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1164499427659344022006-11-25T16:03:00.000-08:002006-11-25T16:03:00.000-08:00Quill, I'll be by before the weekend ends.
