First-born of four, Scots-Irish, born on beach, delivered by cardiologist, not OB, making for ugly baby, raised in mountains, miss them still.
Smart kid, teacher’s pet, learned to answer only when no one else could. Skinny tall kid, attracted bullies ‘til they saw craziness in eyes and backed away.
Peaked early, never satisfied. Respect granted those who can do what I can’t, others not so much.
Loyal, not grudge-holder, but prone to think everyone’s my friend.
Great with kids and dogs. Cry easily at movies. Divorced dad, but lucky in love late in life. Write only when something unique presents.

Hear you there. And she is lucky, too.
Gary: Thanks. There are more of us out there than will admit it.
Olga: Oh, the bullies are still there, if only as motivators deep in the psyche. Your mind works on a tangent, doesn't it? Must be that "life after death" thing, huh?
Coyote...: Kind words won't dampen my self-loathing and humility after reading your 10-squared.
Greg: If you don't have anything nice to say, ask Greg to fill in for you.
Hyblaen: Your perception indicates you have more to say on this subject.
Lovely.
I try not to hold the floor too often, or to be fussy with those that do, but it's a fine fine line, and I don't always make it on either count.

So when are you writing something heavy and profound? ;-)
