@josie Oh no, Mike is one of the finest and most friendly guys you will ever meet. His wife is even more wonderful than he is. Perfect neighbors.
Mike is such a good guy that I know he’d be willing to take the hit for any life issues you may have, or have had in the past. I approached him yesterday on your behalf (if this is a premature over-step by me, please accept my apology).
I am paraphrasing, but his response went something like this…..,
“Well….I’ve never met this Josie guy, but can sense that he is pretty smart and self-aware. At your next opportunity, please tell him that I sincerely apologize for all of the unfortunate influences and obstacles that I have strewn in his path, lo these many years.
I have told my wife and son that I may have to go away for however long it takes to correct my misdeeds and, I hope, also receive Josie’s forgiveness, while at the same time forging a lasting friendship with him during the years ahead…..”

(see ?.......I told you he was a great guy…..)

P.S. @Earthbound_Misfit Mike says feel free to pile-on, if you feel so inclined…..
