Betrayal?

I had tea with Rick this afternoon.
He said he'd been reading this blog. "Okay," I said.
"Is that stuff all true?"
I wasn't sure why we were having this discussion. Rick is my spiritual adviser! True? What was there to question? I said as much to him.
He asked me a lot of questions. I got a little upset. "Curt blogs for Curt," I said to him, defiantly, and I meant it. Blogging for me is a spiritual release, and I don't need my spiritual adviser giving me crap about it.
He apologized, and took me bowling. I hadn't been bowling since I was a little kid. Rick, who I always thought was pure balance and peace, is a real ass when he bowls. "I don't even consider you a man if you can't bowl over 90", he said. This, while I was in the process of bowling a 76. Was this a test of my emotional resolve? Something else? What is this relationship?
I suppose you're reading this Rick, and I suppose I "failed" your test. Well, I don't need you, and I'm as stable as I want to be.
I wasted a number of delicious butters on that guy.
If anyone else is interested in being my spiritual adviser, or knows a good one, let me know.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna scratch off that "Win For Life". We'll see what happens!
