You say you don't get no respect...

You'll know it's so when...

Kids dress up as Ed Yourdon at Halloween Parties,

People shake their heads in disgust at someone and say, "Hey, stop Yourdoning around, O.K.?"

Thriftstores give away copies of TB2000

Your own kids tell you to "go to your room."

Your dog bites you.

Immediate relatives change their family name.

Until then, don't take life so seriously.

Rod,

Heh heh heh ... good point. Tell you what: I'll just forward the hate mail on to you from now on, and that will make it easier to take life less seriously.

Oh, so you know my ex-wife!

No respect...no respect.

Let me tell you...Ed, you've got to NOT read that mail. I've been there. I have a tour company and lead the tours myself, personally. And sometimes the self-absorbed people I get on the tours are really a little much. I always try to figure out how I can make them happy. A good friend in Greece said to me that if everyone likes me, I'm doing something wrong. Not being my true self!

Take that!

Hey, Rodney, sorry you're all busy and such, but I forgot to tell you -- Beat it, creep, before I call the cops!
