[Evans, Marv]

I'm six years younger than your dad. My wife has always called me stubborn, but that's something I've always been to a slight extent. However I do see these sorts of changes in old friends. My best friend from high school has become so stubborn and critical, I really don't care to spend that much time around him anymore. He has three grown kids, and two don't talk to him. His wife hasn't had anything substantive to do with him for years now for the same reason, I think. I've thought I should have a serious discussion with him, but don't think it would be productive. He's an active guy & retired attorney & not dumb, so I haven't figured out for sure what's going on. Sofar I'm happy I'm still open to discussion on my views of life. Hope I'm not living in old people's dreamland.
