The fam is still going and always will be just
a bit silent at the moment.Should be a link on one of my very first poems, if not will add one on the bio page.
Couldn't sleep so thought I might as well get up since have to be off to work in a couple hours anyway. Only about another 40 years and I can retire...

About the only thing I've been writing lately is the poemy responses on others pages. Been too many irons in the fire as life once more seeks to take control. Don't you just hate it when that happens.
Was good to hear from you, ever if the speakers of my computer weren't turned on...hehe
