Pa is a very understanding and relaxed group of people. As a general rule, we are also a live and let live group. If only he had come out and said what you had offered up as an excuse for him then I myself would have understood. That wouldnt mean he is off the hook but at least we would have known why. Beyond that, as it stands right now, im still waiting as are the rest of us. Growing up I learned a lesson I am teaching my son. When ya done wrong, you gadda answer for it. That dont mean just takin your licks, it literally means, you answer for it. Hadnt had an answer yet. But no doubt, good on ya for taking up for a guy in a situation we dont have all the facts on yet. Understand too though, everyone has given him a chance, mkst have just run out of patience a month later. A month.
