Consigliere

A good friend told me about a very difficult situation he's going through. I listened, and tried to listen some more before speaking. He said he had chosen his best friend (a guy named C) to serve as consigliere as he navigates through these troubled waters.

I don't envy C. His is a difficult task. Does a consigliere get support staff? They never do in the movies.

The three of us sat down to dinner together. We had Italian, no pun intended. I chimed in whenever I felt it was appropriate. I started not feeling so great, and I wondered if it was stress. It might have been; these days I'm feeling like I did at the beginning of last summer. That was a stressful time.
