He actually didn't learn English until he was three or so. He says one German saying that comes close to the meaning of "joie de vivre" is "lebensfreude." It's pronounced lay-bins-froy-da, or something like that, and translates literally to "love of life." Golly, now ain't ya glad I read your blog?

That's right, Bob. You might just look at your personality traits as components of your life's mission: to keep things spiced up, and to keep folks from getting complacent. I have no idea where that last thought came from, but I'm goin' with it .Hal Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350917997504370743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295521.post-47124273983799636452007-03-14T10:59:00.000-05:002007-03-14T10:59:00.000-05:00Hey Bob - don't sweat it.....it is a Virgo thing. ...Hey Bob - don't sweat it.....it is a Virgo thing. Virgos are known for being overly critical. No matter how well intentioned your comments are or how much you think you are just joking, it always seems to come out wrong. I am a Virgo too and I always seem to say the wrong thing. I say lots of things in jest that get taken the wrong way. Why does no one seem to understand my sense of humour??island girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361467370296140707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295521.post-2453195166991348942007-03-13T22:09:00.000-05:002007-03-13T22:09:00.000-05:00Hal, my problem is that even when people *can* hea...Hal, my problem is that even when people *can* hear my inflection and facial expression - I'm still a smartass!<BR/><BR/>And Gene...leave it to my friends to cut diretly to the chase.

I've often felt that I should carry around a spice kit for my foot. I've had my share of those "crossing the line" episodes in writing, too. I'm known as an easy-going guy, but I'm also sort of a terminal smart-ass. So, when I express myself in writing, without the benefit of voice inflection or facial expression . . .
