- I have remarked to my wife over the past six months, (and she agrees, so
- there! :-)) that Dave is a lot nicer to his guests nowadays. It really seems
- like he read his reviews, hadn't realized he was being so cruel in his teasing,
- and decided to be a nicer guy. He seems to laugh WITH his guests now, instead
- of AT them.
-
- Adn as for Grodin, he is disgustingly youthful looking. I believe he is in his
- 50's now. I looked it up in the almanac one time. Hard to believe. I HATE
- people like that! ;-)
