DelSo 
Did you jump off the bridge this year?
Um…we kind of avoided State Beach this year. Guess you could say there was no opportunity to jump. Or that I purposely stayed away from the bridge…
Well, Ms. Delso, you certainly know how to appreciate the best and identify the worst. Wait! That’s what you DO! Thank you.
We all have our roles, Mary. Hope I’m not coming across as an expert, I’m merely a player. 🙂
