um, yeah, you meant me, Ralph, John, not Ray. Did you get that? 20 years younger, huh? I'm having trouble with that. Mostly my problem. Good for you.

Yikes. It was bad. And many would counsel me to not try to explain it in that it may just make it worse. But here it is anyway. I've run across many Latino peoples lately. It may be my attraction to futbol (soccer) or it may simply be that there are more here nowadays. I've taken the opportunity to brush up on my Spanish as I attempt conversation with them. I have respect for those who've come here and work hard and I enjoy the conversations I've had with them. I'm newly single again and contemplating more children with a good woman at some point. Being that I don't really care about race, I've dated women from 4 different Spanish speaking countries in addition to American women. Race does not matter at all while being a responsible mother to my child is most important. I should not have connected Manny and the woman I dated in the manner I did. It was unfair to both and I'm very sorry. The only connection I meant was that, of all the Spanish speaking people I've met in my life, the most difficult dialect to understand is Dominican. That's all. My date was young, intelligent, beautiful, and nice. I should not have let my recent animosity toward Manny spill over onto her. My hearing impairment the frustration of a loud restaurant combined to put me a bad mood when I wrote that e-mail. And, I was feeling weird about dating someone so young. Again, my problem and nothing to do with race. So, that's my lame explanation, though true. It's my problem if I can't hear well and don't understand a given dialect. I was wrong to write what I did and I'm both embarrassed and humbled by this. But those Cubans .... okay okay, I'm kidding. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
