But I have now, and I stand publically corrected. Believe it or not, it's not the first time I've been wrong, been corrected and had to eat a big of crow. I find it's good for the soul.
I don't think Feb or I care a whit what you do. We haven't ever really had a conversation about you that I can recall. So if you feel some "control" over not being open on what you do, well, that's just fine with me.
I would like to correct your perception about something -- neither Feb or I are control freaks. If you knew us, which I might add, you don't, you'd find that both of us are pretty laid back. Both of us are guilty of playing the devil periodically, but neither of us do it with any real malice. I don't think either of us really cares that much, particularly since we retired. We're here to enjoy the lake, enjoy our neighbors and generally just be pleased with life. I enjoy a good back and forth in a discussion. If people disagree with me, it doesn't tick me off. Lots of time I learn a lot. That's why it's interesting to get other people's perspective and know what forms that perspective.
But if you are a trash collector, President and CEO of Russell Lands or don't work at all, I'd be the last person to judge you, even though you have chosen to judge me. I started my career at the bottom, went up through the ranks, and was fortunate to end up in a leadership position before I retired. Doesn't mean I was smarter or better, just the way it went. I worked hard. I was raised to believe that all work is honorable as long as one does it to the best of their ability and with integrity.
