"But back to my questions can we work this out or not?"

Norm, I do not have a problem with you.
I have never had a problem with you.
When you took issue with the horse chip, I did not critize you for it. You have a right to your opinion.

I did not ask to be in the HOF. In fact if I was voting, I would not have voted for me.
But, I am thrilled that my peers thought I should be. I will do my best to live up to that honor starting with the day they bestowed that honor on me.

Everyone makes choices in life. I choose to be me. I'm OK with me.
Sometimes I do stupid things. Sometimes I do good things.
Sometimes an apology is in order. Sometimes they are not in order. I get to choose the order.

I do not feel I did anything wrong with the horse chip. It was payback. It is paid as far as I am concerned.
I have never been un-civil to you in a post.
I choose my friends. They are allowed to disagree with me and still remain my friends. They do not owe an apology for disagreeing.

Everyone makes choices in life. I choose to be me. I'm OK with me as it took me many years to become me. In fact, I kinda like me.

I bet the boys will chime in with a few chosen words about ME.
