I've declined several invitations because I knew you'd be there. So my reason for not attending had nothing manliness.
It seems a poor reason to decline an invitation to a Campfire gathering. I have nothing against you, but I am glad that Gene came and you did not. I have had several long and good talks with Gene and even stood side by side with Him, while holding one end of a tarp during a tornado. It was covering us and protecting against flying debris, as much as rain. I would wish for no better by My side. I do figure that there was room for both. miles
