As a result of many reactions to *** Monday’s PaD*** * I am not feeling very positive about the impression I gave everyone about Tom’s listening skills. The reality is that he is a superb listener and cares deeply about what Michele says. I was guilty of posting the image that (1) caught them both in the wide angle lens and (2) had the most drama, and (3) –blush – all my other joint images were out of focus.

So I am here studying my own ability to listen well. Frankly I think I am a world class listener, but does that mean I hear everything? Not really…perhaps I need to listen to myself better? ;-)
