1. I called Vichysoisse after 10:30 A.M. Yeah, I know. I had to call him in order to find out 1 1 /2 hours before we were supposed to have met that he fell asleep last night and his father 'needs' him to help work on his shed.

2. He was apologetic about not having called me. He had, of course, real but lame excuses.

3. He needs to slither on his belly a little and apologize a bit more. I mean it.

4. It is like pulling teeth, now.

5. I will not pursue him, I will not pursue him, I will not pursue him.

6. I am failing #5.
