You've got it! I keep telling my wife that I wish she would respond to my
voice as well as I respond to hers. Spend half my time walking from one side
of the house to the other while she chatters at me from the kitchen and I am
in the study. If I make a comment to her it is usually ignored until I go to
where she is. My father was right --" You can't win." Cheers.
