Thanks you SO MUCH, Fia. I just made the audio today and I plan to “fiddle with it” to enhance it. I’ve tried some things I think will work well. Stay tuned.

Curt, you got me laughing now, and by damn, you strap that bonnet right back on that sonnet — and you sing her safely to sleep. To sleep, perhaps to dream of one day being a star. But perhaps being a sonnet is enough. I know a certain dead Englishman who would agree. My backyard is not for everyone, Curt, but you are always welcome to climb over my fence and give it a try. And, if you prefer, you can continue to lead the cheer. As long as you stay my friend here, and send silly messages to me from time to time.

Ah! Yes, thank you! Finally, someone called it a “Piece of Art”! I have made it, mother! I am an ‘Artiste”! At last, at last!. Now, if I can only find and kill a large white fish, my life will be complete! Thank you, Al.

Is that all you have to say?
Wow, Richard I have no plus’s, I am all plused out! I’m a little afraid to have you read more. BTW, That is me reading this piece, as is the case on many others. just click it at the bottom, up there ⬆️ I am thrilled, Richard. I don’t know if I should let you read more of my work, though. I mean, where do we go from here? Anything else would be a disappointment.Thank you. And I do hope you got my friend request.

Now I have to leave for a short while. My wife is calling for me to spend some time with her on the porch.
