What I wanted to do was impart a feeling which could be immediately understood by most people, rather than explain a situation then separately talk about how I felt about it, like explaining a joke to someone who just hasn't got it.<br /><br />If the event had happened yesterday, then (with the benefit of modern communications) I'm sure I would have written about it as a factual account. As it is, then it has had time to resolve itself in my head, but never did, which is precisely why I have written the above. I don't need to be made to feel better about it, because I don't feel bad about it.<br /><br />Like I said - don't get involved.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-57624672280279058102011-02-03T13:40:23.657-08:002011-02-03T13:40:23.657-08:00I felt that there was subtext too!
