Can you keep a secret?

I know I can, under certain specific, controlled circumstances. However, unless sworn to secrecy, I'm free to be a blabber mouth and even trade :)

The key is when you are gifted with a secret, the discloser MUST swear you to secrecy. To which I (virtually always) adhere. Otherwise, I'm like a bee with honey!

One of my favorite Beatles songs is on the subject :)

If sworn to secrecy, unless under brutal interrogation at risk of life, I am a secure source and proud to be so!

Gossip, on the other hand, could be the subject of a future blog :)

But, just so you know, I'm keeping secrets as you read :)
