I’m aware ‘mistressed’ not a real word, but I like to use it. Seriously, what is the percentage of women vs. men who are reading this right now?
I like to think in terms of ‘mistressing’ a technique, it’s one of my idiosyncrasies that make me so – what? – loveable? Irascible? Lovably irascible?
TOM! Way to go, Tom! Tom also had the honor of having the shortest comment, which in NO way affected his chances of winning! It’s cool that the winner’s a guy (I actually had to do my random pick twice because I picked someone who’d won something a few weeks ago the first time around!)…
