Kendall:

At your age, I'm sure you have everything you need. Time to get out and do stuff with it!! Just for example, I am sure you have been slacking off in your duties and Chief New England Curmudgeon. You are overdue on your current batch of never-before-heard crusty insults, and we could use a few new replacements in the Inventory Of Long and Funny Dry New England Rambling Parables and Tall Tales. You probably haven't told any new fibs in a week of Sundays. And how long has it been since you straightened out a whippersnapper??? Goddamn state of Maine is crawling with whippersnappers all needing straightening out, and you sit around feeling sorry for yourself?

Not to mention your responsibilities of First Genius and Spirit of the Maritime Way here on the 'Cat. Haven't seen a sheepshank or a fid out of you since that half-assed quiz you wrote last quarter.

By the way, you sing like a goddamn salty angel. Let's toss this crap and by a coastal schooner and make our money taking pretty women over the horizon for ther weekends!!

Love,

Amos
