My late XAH used to let mutual friends "know" how well he was doing, and how good life was for him. I smelled a rat every time I heard this from those friends, because I just could not believe he was not drinking, let alone having a ball. I was right on target.
As what I heard from him was a ping, and that I smelled a rat......does that mean I was in the midst of his game of Ping Pong?
Sorry.....not the best but it wouldn't go away.
God bless
