Nope. Sorry Bill, but I refuse to dampen my happiness on the chance that someone else may feel a bit down witnessing it. That is a measure of political correctness and I will not apologize for expressing the joy that my engagement has given me. OTOH, I'm not going to deliberately rub it in the face of someone whom I personally know to be going through the angst of being alone. I had been there for quite a few years myself (and Josie far longer), but I've always been happy for those folk who were lucky enough to find someone who loves them as much as they love that person.
