My daughter has the same problem... When she met and married a conservative Republican lawyer she suddenly developed a skin that has sometimes seemed to me lets in only the more IMPORTANT people in the world. For instance, when they once found themselves caught in a Reagan motorcade they were absolutely thrilled.When we meet, we just don't talk politics, although we're both good at the one-liners. I have some hope for her however; lately she has changed her tune a bit. Danged!! I should hope so.
Kendall, keep in mind you've had a rough year; even though there was a happy outcome, emotions were jerked around for a long period of time. Not surprising you'd have an occasional bad day.
