A GENERAL THANK YOU: To all who read and offer feedback. What I write is not schooled nor can I claim anything but a respect and love for words and a mind that burbles out into writing that I am then free to post here. In exchange, I find in this place writers that stun me and teach me with how and what they write. All hail and all thanks to them.
