I enjoy reading you, Hoops, and don’t like to see you in pain like this. I’m a big believer in clear speaking and making sure I’m understood…at least I try. You expressed your feelings perfectly…now email the above to your brother. I love my brother and would send it to him. He’s a couple years younger and we’re that close. He would appreciate my opinion, provided I showed no anger in expressing it, just as I would appreciate his.
Good luck.
