I think I'm resigned to the way things are with my advisor. The email went to him and he sent the letters late. I will never get an emotional response from him, or an apology for overlooking my stuff, which is fine and to be expected. I get the feeling that he was once a beta (or even omega) male who is now relishing his alpha male status. I now know I have to babysit him on getting my stuff done. I guess it is to be expected with his new even busier schedule.

BTW, I'll be in LA from tomorrow through Thurs night - if you can spare a moment it would be great to see you.
