Interviews continue

Interviewing for a book I'm compiling has been an interesting process. Somehow during the process I continue to find the hot buttons, the angst question usually is the key. An innocent inquiry into a Thank You note received and bam! An engagement party and 50 thank you's in person but no time to write it out and mail a formal thank you note. Yes, it matters. Emily Post is not dead. She may be literally but the manners still matter...visiting other countries, read the book, The Ugly American. Global economy? Culture matters, manners matter, knowledge is strength, reading is knowledge, understanding tradition matters. Send the thank you, read about their culture, care to learn and learn to care. It will show and be appreciated.
