Actually, they’re here. They moved next door Friday–dropped by for a chat. Eventually we got around to the Revolutionary War. His position isn’t so much that they lost, but rather retreated, and have not found an opportune time to return.
His wife mentioned her love of British gardens. I asked her if she would look at my roses and tell me what I needed to do to make them healthier. She looked a bit askance and asked, “Do you think that just because I lived in Britain I am a rose expert?” Fair question. (I was counting my blessings that I had not asked her about tea, or tried to explain why we don’t consider soccer to be a real sport.)
I understand her point. Just because I spend time in my garage doesn’t make me an automotive expert. For those who are reading ahead and wondering if I am foolish enough to suggest that there may be a corollary about doctors in hospitals and whether that gives them the expertise they need to run an EHR program, no. I am not that foolish.
I was simply writing about roses.
