To be honest, I think everybody has at least one thing they would do if different if given the chance. If they tell you they wouldn't change a thing, then they are lost in the delusion of their own perfection. One thing about your writing and why you are so popular is because you write it like it is, warts and all. ~L |

If I had it all to do over again, I'd be so happy to have been round about and back again that I'd make all the same mistakes just to see if they'd let me do it again a third try  |

Always Jerry, your life experiences take on a shine, if not a polished persona every time I read of them. I feel that refreshing life occurs between each breath because the next breath may not arrive in time. No looking back and no regrets. Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |
