Example:
The phone rang again and I decided not to answer it. I should have never let Bob know I was an oenophile; he keeps calling to find out what wine goes with various snakes.
Sorry about the delay on this, I have been flying home from vacation (and yes, my arms sure are tired) and just got in.
