Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009)
An old friend came to visit me today and it should have been obvious to anyone that I didn't care what he did with the shavings of a stump or half a dozen other things that dont amount to a cane hole in a cow flap. This guy is a Leo and of course, it's all about him.
When I didn't respond he suggested that I'm FRAIL!!
I will have to square him away, but I know he will never admit being wrong. I've known him for over 50 years and I've never heard him admit being wrong about anything. He often shoots from the hip with nowhere near enough information to speak about the problem at hand.When it became obvious that I was not interested, he left.

Reminded me of John Wayne in the film Hondo. His advice to a young man, "Never apologize; it's a sign of weakness." To me, it's a sign of insecurity in someone who knows he's full of shit but can't face it.He often gets up my nose, but this time he went to far.

He's the frail one and I have to figure out how to shoot him down without killing him. Any ideas?
