   Very cool.  I see, use the wife! LOL just kidding ... my motto is   
   "whatever works for in persons" (except lies and deception).  But if   
   you have kids, a broken leg... whatever, use it to your advantage.   
      
   I am learning they know false flattery, they don't want to be asked   
   about a flub or things too far in the past, or the same things over   
   and over.  So just be a fan, ask for a graph and say thanks; and that   
   works best.  Your wife seems to have just been nice, got in and out   
   and that's really what they love (and a woman tends to soften men   
   too).
