Dear Ginger: You don't sound harsh at all. You're a realist like myself. He's always lax when it comes to organizing and acting in a timely manner. This time I've decided that he's got to be captain of this extremely important life or death journey. He's 64 and needs to be responsible. I sent him this link 2x and I've yet to hear back from him about it.
As always, thank you. <3
