Dear Folks, I'm embarrassed to even post this immodest message but I guess I'm compelled to at this hour. It has to do with the editing I've doing on the stories I want to include in my eventual book. A number of the stories are those that I wrote years ago and frankly I had forgotten about some of them. But now as I re-read them I'm so impressed with my style back then and the lyrical quality of a number of them. It's been only about eight years since I wrote the first of them, but where did all of that come from? I only know that I still remember being so passionate about the subject and reveling in the memories of them. But more than that, I so want to share all of them with you again in book form. No, I'm not trying to peddle my book. I only want to share bits and pieces of my life with you again that you can sit down and read at your leisure. Frankly, I'm looking forward to reading my "life story" in book form myself. I think that eventually I'll figure out what my whole life has been all about. vee
