Absolutely, borderline manic even. I thought I was just feeling good until my wife confronted me -- the story is amusing now, although not at the time!
She mentioned a family dinner when I was holding forth like an anthropology PhD (which I ain't) on how you tell the different ethnic groups of Central Europe apart by the shape of their heads (!) Then my daughter came in, and my wife asked her if Dad had been behaving strangely. Without further prompting my daughter said, "Yeah, Dad, you remember that dinner when you were telling us how to tell Serbs from Croatians by ...". One person I could have ignored, but that was pretty conclusive!
