shall we review?
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

To imitate someone is to pay the person a genuine compliment—often an unintended compliment.

and bear in mind that
flattery will get you nowhere


According to Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations, the long-forgotten Charles Caleb Colton (1780–1832) coined the enduring maxim, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."1 Unaware that Mr. Colton deserved the credit, I had always accepted it as a truism. No longer. Jean R. Sternlight has now persuaded me that, when it comes to flattery, attention from a respected legal scholar beats imitation by a mile.

9. Thank you
I'm doing great. We just got back from the honeymoon in York, ME, and although we wish we spent a few more days there, we're ecstatic about our trip and plan to do it again every year if possible. :hi:
