That happened years ago. Nice to know he's still comfortable with it.

Any chance that Adam Kinzinger had of making the RNC Christmas card list probably evaporated this evening.

Right. That's what people misunderstand. It's not giving up.
Acceptance means that it's raining, and you don't spend all day wishing it weren't raining. Instead, you get your umbrella.
Fighting against what is - refusing to just accept the reality of the situation - causes frustration, unhappiness, despair. 

Accept what is, what reality is in front of you, and then change it if you want it to be different. That's all. It's not capitulation; it's just saying "oh - it's cold. I'll get a jacket."

The wife used to have a little thing about acceptance at the desk of our previous place.

A lesson I learned long ago.  You get in more trouble for trying to kill someone and failing than you do for actually killing them.

The penalties are usually harsher for those that failed than those that succeeded.

Yeah, let's see what happens at your convention that starts next week.  That ought to be a hoot.

Will Liz be a guest of honour ?

So you caught that? Good for you!  Your boy's gaffs are much, much worse and you completely missed the message.
