My Friend Adair

 12-22-11


My friend Adair has all the tact and manners of a Prussian field commander.  "You go with me to the Summit today.  I still need a couple more things for my wife.  You can help.  I'll buy you lunch at Sweet Bones Alabama.  Let's go."  When I said "no" because I have to work, unlike Adair, who does "finance," as he calls it (that's all I know about what he does) he exploded with a string of profanities and hung up on me.  So what.  Adair has his undergrad degree from UMass-Amherst and an MBA from Brown.  I have a history degree  from a land-grant university and so I am just as good as he is.  Besides, when it's time to buy Christmas for your bride, I say it's every man for himself.  Don't look to me for help.
