I take my foot out of my mouth, nay I take both feet out of my mouth, to apologise. Sorry, I am quick to pass judgment, when I am not in full possession of the facts, particularly if I feel my cultural heritage is being impugned (and if that isn't a word it ought to be). So in the spirit of the season, I do most humbly apologise. May the words of my mouth be acceptable unto thee. Can't help it even when I am trying to be serious, I have a sense of the reidiculous. But the apology is meant seriously. May you be inscribed, both in the book of life, and at Social Security, for a happy and healthy and prosperous new year.
