BD Speaks
May 14th, 2007 |The other side of the story surfaces.
Can I really argue with anything that BD wrote in his comment? Nope.
I made a mistake, he reacted to it and I reacted to his reaction.
What is regretful to me is that apparently neither of us found a way to communicate like adults and resolve this situation. BD went off on me and I put up an immediate road block to allow him to move past his anger and resolve the situation. If we would have found a way to resolve this whole thing at the track that same night then none of this would have ever been interesting enough to bother writing about.
Lessons learned. Dammit, I hate learning lessons.
Do I respect BD? Sure. He stepped up and presented his argument and now he and I can talk about it (if he wishes) calmly and rationally.
Should I have blogged about it? I still think so. Look how everything turned out. And look how entertaining this whole situation was for everyone.
I know that there has been some discussion out there that “Smithers is such a whiner” and blah blah blah. Welcome to the reality that Mrs. Smithers has been dealing with for the last 8 years. You think I am a whiner on the blog, ask her what it’s like to put up with me in person on a daily basis. Not pretty…
Anyway, I’m ready to attempt to serve my Homme punishment.
