I've noticed some of my friends getting increasingly intolerant as they
get older, and I've seen the same happen to myself. Or maybe it's just
impatience.

So, apologies, but playing petty mindgames at meetings seems to me totally
entropic behavoir. And I'm sure it goes on all the time. Sometimes I wish
I had the time to waste.

Sorry, Kathryn and Joy, if you expect that I'd be shocked, mouth agape,
when you deign to reveal you have a clue. I'd probably have a look of utter
disgust.
