I sent a text to Smokey: "I never intended to upset you with my email. I was thinking about how it must feel from your perspective. And, I can see how I would feel frustrated if I was working hard and received anger from my kids and requests for more money. I don't know the answer. Just wanted to tell you I'm trying to understand your point of view."
I'm sure he will think I'm full of hidden agendas, maybe I am. Mainly, I just want things to continue smoothly like they have been. And, hopefully, he will soften some.
Who knows. I tried. No response.
