Greg and Sam's Adventures in Japan

Modest---Not Me!

Well, this is really a reply to Samantha's comment that Greg was too modest in his posting about his long-awaited assurance of a diploma from U of O. But I cannot hide a comment such as this in a thread of replies. This may raise a ruckus......but......

Modesty is a quality of the McCarthys---except for maybe Kitty Mum. She is wonderful and confident and self assured, not necessarily modest. However, as a group, the McCarthys are modest. So maybe Greg's writing style as he wrote about his graduation status shows strong McCarthy traits. That's good, for sure.

Modesty is NOT a quality of the Diamonds, especially Dad, his mother, and -- forgive me--- Jim and Joe. So Greg's writing style cannot be that of a Diamond, if indeed he was modest as Sam believes.

OK. Enough. I've had a glass of wine, and a nice evening of capresi salad, good cheeses, luscious raspberries....so maybe I'm not responsible for my careless words. But, when Greg is modest, he is a McCarthy.

I send my love to all.
