Hopefully they are fully aware of who you are, how you relate to your family and friends and, most significantly, your unique sense of humor. <br /><br />The key component to how things go down this weekend will likely be your wife. While you are clearly stretching the envelop I suspect that at this point in time she is concerned that things may go a bit outside her comfort zone and she may be concerned with how things end up.<br /><br />I amend my suggestion. Honesty, humor, and a search for a natural and unforced repartee may be the best way to go.<br /><br />There are friends and there are acquaintences. It is likely that you will encounter both this weekend. Friends will like and accept you for who you are, warts and all. We all have long time friends that we see only time to time. They live their lives and we live yours. Friends are never perfect but we stay friends nonetheless.<br /><br />My best friend is now on his third wife. He is a great guy but just can't seem to keep his pants on. My wife and I remain friendly with him and with both of his ex-wives and his children and former step-children. He has other defects as well and of course you could write a book about my defects but we stay and always will stay friends...warts and all.<br /><br />Acquaintences are different. They may relate to you because of the situations Work, neighbors, etc.) in which you find yourself. While you may not care too much about how an acquaintance my view you they are often in positions where they could use information that could harm you.<br /><br />Be careful, be cautious, take as many cues from your wife that you can decipher. I suspect that your wife fears embarassment but she also may see herself as having a role to protect you from yourself.<br /><br />Good luck...enjoy the ride and the adreneline rush...keep smiling and when questions are asked K.I.S.S. (Keep it short stupid). Honesty and humor should carry the day for you.<br />PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
