With apologies to Raleigh.

I don't remember this one, John. Have I read it before? Well, at any rate, it is wonderfully written in your own unique style.

I think one of the things that I enjoy most about your work is that you truly do "know" the human condition and never shy away from telling it like it is.

Great writing!

Thanks Jan!

Uh, er, it's in the book - pg. 281.
