Even reading it again, I laugh
I think that my regular readers have noted that I have been rather gentle with the expos� de Bruce. I do like to protect him (I am the only one allowed to call him annoying, stupid, or an ass) from the prying eyes, of well, you. However, this afternoon we had a conversation that I have to share. I am practically duty bound to let you all in on this one.
Enjoy.
The set up: Bruce booked something for me on-line and instead of my first and last name there was a typo that left my name as SA SD. This is confusing because there are no “s"s in my name. This led to an early morning phone call to dear Bruce who had just gone to bed. Bruce has rectified the situation, but it will be a long time for this one to be forgotten. Also, Bruce never calls me by my common nickname. Everyone I know, even co-workers call my by this name. Bruce didn’t believe me until he met my friends and family. After meeting the crew, he commented that people call me my nickname. I know, that is the purpose of a nickname. I never said that he was smart.)
