Mr. Bart,

First, I need to say that I have never, anywhere in the world, met a more polite crowd (including many alcohol-fueled teenagers) than I met at Fiesta in San Antonio.

My lawyer calls me "honey" and my accountant calls me "darlin" but I would (and have) eat the still-beating heart out of any total stranger who attempts to "flatter" me in a professional setting where they (ostensibly) hold some power over me. And I was raised in Memphis ... Sugar.
