Thanks for your encouragement.<BR/><BR/>Poodle: Yeah, my saying "so what" seems a bit flippant, maybe, but I know you know I don't mean it that way. The reality of it is indeed "frustrating," to say the least! But yeah, some days I get it all in perspective and cay see the "fullness of time," as you and Andric say.<BR/><BR/>Bink: Hot baths... I hope we don't live to see their end! I too think the parade of stories is comforting.<BR/><BR/>Momo: Thanks for the link!

The stories do get told over and over, and as they're learned, they're re-told.<BR/><BR/>Synchronicity strikes again! I've recently been commenting to myself on how these (Ed Hoagland, & "Best Essays of 1999) accomplished (published & paid)writers seem to obsessively write about writing. Till I noticed it, I thought it was only my unresolved peculiarity.<BR/><BR/>Other than "broken", its my notion that we get worn & frayed; but still, we write on. Do, please.Paul D Lefebvrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634990124626126727noreply@blogger.com
