In this post by Bud, he mentioned how Glen said that he was “so unreliable&# when he didn’t come through on his plans for him. Taking it easy is easy. This is something to keep in mind.

I have appointments in my agenda and tasks to be done. The truth is I wasn’t a good kid in school because of my memory. I was a good kid in school because I didn’t care much about it.
