Actually think we would have got along like a house on fire. Had I known a character like this would be installed here, I might have stayed on to my original sell-by date eighteen months from now. He’s about five years my junior, but a history major back in the day, and expressed a favorable opinion regarding my late shop. Too late. As of this past midnight I am forever off the payroll. No more Sunday night “knot of dread.”

cordially,
