That's only because he's a double agent, connie.
That explains so much.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Hubby spoke nearly only German until age 7, when his military family came back to the states, and he doesn't have an accent--though he speaks German in his sleep.
Is his German in an accent? I was noticing, in India, how when I spoke Gujarati, I spoke it in basically my normal, unaccented voice. But it sounded fine. Whereas if I speaks, say, Spanish in my normal voice, it screams, "Foreigner!" I have to put a little Spanish oomph into the words to make it work. I don't know whether it's a function of being Indian or the language, because trying to imagine one of my non-Indian friends speaking Gujarati is pretty awkward.
Huh. Maybe my voice changes in a very subtle way. It's almost subconscious. Weird. I'm trying to switch back and forth, and I think my voice is slightly different, but I can't do anything about it. I can't tone down the Gujarati into what I think is closer to my normal voice. It's the only way it comes out. Whereas I can easily put a silly Indian accent onto my English-speaking.

ai yi yi, dealing with nice bt weird client, trying to get his registration web site up today.
Trying to be nice.
Is it assholish to, as a response to a crazy client asking for information you have provided weeks ago, and gotten a response to weeks ago, forward the client's responding email back to him, saying something nice, like, I think this got lost in the holiday shuffle? Because that's what I did.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's what I would do.

Is his German in an accent?
His German apparently pleases native Germans. When the Olympics were here, he got invited to a party at Germany House by the German Minister of Trade, who Hubby met in an elevator at Brigham Young University. Hubby was attending a sci-fi convention in the building and the Trade Minister was headed up to a conference on the top floor where Vice-President Cheney was in attendance.

OF course, if Hubby really is a German double agent, the whole 'No, I met him by accident in an elevator' story is even more unlikely.

I'm sorry, Deb.The past is always with us.
I'm glad things look better today, Gud. I'm also glad that Deena's Nick is looking at going back to school, but wish that he would discuss it at a more civilized hour.
I've done the same thing with clients several times, Nora, with no repercussions.

What is even happening?
OF course, if Hubby really is a German double agent, the whole 'No, I met him by accident in an elevator' story is even more unlikely.Yeah. What sci-fi-convention-attending-guy meets the German Minister of Trade, in an elevator, in Utah, at BYU no less, by accident, and gets invited to a party by him? C'mon. Jack Bauer wouldn't buy that cover for a second.
