The Protege

I don't know why I didn't see this long ago. Maybe it's because it's been moved into the house. The Protege is a serious alcoholic. This is the second monday he has not made it to work because of drinking the night before. This time he stayed around the house, and so did Nabal. The Protege could barely walk by noon. Ok, this is what I missed: Nabal was chastising the protege for excessive drinking last week, but drank to late night drunkenness with him yesterday after church. The mixed signals must be killing him... Nabal he looks up to. Nabal always is so proud of him being mistaken for his son. It's like being able to look at how he plays mind games, but as a spectator. Very interesting perspective. The Protege needs intervention, he's killing himself and Nabal is really pushing him by shaming him then leading him into drunkenness.
