Re: dissatisfactions
henry, I have given some considerable thought , both to our conversation of the past week, as well as our interactions over the past year. I am sure you can take the view that you have lived these 80 years, and are quite satisfied with the last 15 or twenty . so no need to change course. I respect that position. I m afraid that you consider friends , both men and women, the same as other deals. what s the lowest price you can pay , and still achieve the greatest return. Dollars out. vs , romance /sex in. It is not for me to opine on what appears to have been a winning strategy for you. If you are happy with the result , that is all that matters„ - at least to you. I view friendship as a two way street. I don;t believe we share that view.. My discipline has served you and I well „ ( though as you might remember in the begiing you thought that we would have nothing to talk about otherwise ) that being said I would never do businnss with you , as to a person ,everyone has complained about the niggardly , cheap , self concerned results. i realize you don't give a shit. what people think, so I apologize if I inserted myself in
I am glad to sit, I am happy to talk„ I traveled numerous times to help you decorate your house, I canceled meeting to go with you to the discount carpet place for you office, I came down to help choose the new finish in your office , and lay out your bathroom , sauna. time and time . I assumed the lack of a thank you, was as you and i say„ it is what it is„ , I have stood by as friend family , girlfriend , business partners, charity companions have , all attacked your pecuniary ways, and under the pirate code , defended as much as i could based on our comraderie.many late night calls. whispers , please can you help, I have been your guarantor , in our more intimiate arrangements. and when it comes time , norman, nick„ movie, its always the same„ and without any animosity, the focus on the fact that you may be giving too much is the pervasive argument. It goes back to julies gallery, forcing her to buy coats , jewelry at a discount, saving 2500 dollars. and the same day your portfoio had risen by 7 .3 million. As i said , this strategy is yours and has served your ends. If you want to merely have one more conversation where you attempt to convince me that this is fair„ we should save both our times, I sincerely understand that this strategy works. for you. leaving money to people that share your genes, but will complain if you died on a weekend that you screwed up their vacations is yours to do. I do not want to convert you„ but i strongly believe that friendship is a two way street, . and your view is that every road is a toll road

As you know, I've always welcomed our conversations and have always felt that I learned a lot. I'm not sure I know what to make of your comments just expressed. Do they obviate the plan we had previously had to talk more on this (and anything). That would make me sad.
I certainly haven't meant to justify much of my life: I have any number of failings and am happy to hear of them and think about their origins and possible ways to repair.
