Hi Mike,
Did I tell you I am going to Texas for 3 days and will leave tomorrow? Anyway I wanted to review this chapter before I go. I was amazed when you said you never went to college as I thought anyone with such a good vocabulary and writing skills must have studied it somewhere. This chapter is well written and compelling. I thought the poem is lovely and don't know why there was so much ado over it. Being told to leave the museum and not come back was cruel, to say the least. Well done....chey

Well, I drove my father crazy as I was perpetually banished to my room for lack of homework grades. It was a good time to study the unabridged dictionary! It drove him nuts!
I loved this review and thank you for the genereous rating and the compliments as well. It was cruel, but I know what I saw and stand by that poem. I fear they figured I was a BSer about the book and are now quite surprised as this will be haunting them for a long time.
But then again, I did asked God for a good concluding story, which took me right back to the reason I put my life's story out there; someone needs to say something and suggest a better way. My life has been so unique and I have been through so much, I feel much wisdom is included. Especially for people to understand mindsets.

You are welcome, Mike. I had a good trip now I am playing catch up atain!

Take your time. I haven't put anything up new.

At least I think the story concluded with your sense of humor intact. Perhaps this first book should be a "How Not To" with a follow up "How To".

Jean, I stand by the poem I wrote and regardless of how she received it, I still feel that she deserved it and believe me while it is a shame things turned out the way it did, I am glad that I did what my heart and faith advised me to do.
I enjoyed this review and thank your of it. Mike

Don't let you interest in "Jewish things" be dimmed.

I won't, in fact I do worry about Israel and continue with my anti-terrorism poetry.

Interesting! The narrator of his own, not so well managed life, left me with some questions not likely to be answered. The play of faith back and forth between Judaism and Christianity was not just a comparison between denominations but a complete gulf between that could not be sorted out. I kept waiting to be exposed to Shindlers list and expected to find The Jewish woman from the museum, if not at the top, at least in the top 10. The scathing rebuttal of a 'love poem' gone wrong gives insight to the reference of being a 17 year old. While youth does not always lend itself to ignorance this detailed piece of work leads the way to an epilog which would be phenomenal and I for one would be ready to delve into the reading with much gusto. I have no doubt that the young man in the story has many more comparisons to present. I must admit however that I found no mention of 'gifilte fish', but the last time I smelled it and tasted I would not have rated it as one most likely to be a treasured memory.(Keep writing and don't forget to use spell check).

The problem is that the Gefilte Adventure is in the prior chapter as with FanStory, I am forced to split long works up. There would have been a lot of background that you would have enjoyed.
I am Christian, but feel my roots are Jewish. I still love the museum, but what can I do about things? I thank you for reviewing this.

I really appreciate this review and the compliments. I was hoping to end the biography on the note of the last chapter, but such is life. I thank you very much for your compliments and this review. Mike

Quite a fish tale you spun here, Mike. Sorry about the one that got away. Or did she? Sometimes they swim away and then come back to take the bait. Neat that you posted this during the celebration of Hanukkah. Yes, I am lighting candles and I am Christian.

Well to me, the next chapter is the wopper. No this isn't bait for her, but I hope she is like a dolphin and will come back on her own, if only a friend, but it has never worked out that way for me.
I just wanted to get this done and posted, and had I know Hanukkah was coming up, most likely would have delayed posting it. Right now I am deflated and exhausted.
From the museum, I was planning to purchase a menorah from the museum, but didn't get the chance. I did want to turn the dining room into a Jew room, and have my living room continue my Christian aspect of existance. I always keep up a manger scene thoughout the year, to remind me just what God's expectations are and to always keep an ear out for them. I hate to say it, I think my book is one of them, even if it remains only online for people.
I thank you for your continued support, the compliments and reviews as well your very genereous rating! God Bless! Mike

I made my own menorah. Not quite traditional, but it is personal and special to me as I light the candles and say prayers.
-
For lack of one here, "Like!" I wonder if I have to do the same because of my bannishment! LOL

I thought this was a really interesting autobiography chapter. I haven't enough experiences to write one yet- probably not for another thirty years- but some do them younger, depending on how much happens. I'm pretty sure I could do a 300 page one now, but it wouldn't be as enjoyable as this. Found no mistakes. Nice job.

Wow! No living person should attempt their own biography, it one of those things, "Be careful what you wish for." I started mine feeling someone needs to say something, and my fear is the good Lord held me to it, because instead of a positive message, I ended up at the reason I decided to put my life out there.
Just enjoy the life you are given. I wished we could rate the reviews because this is definitely a sixer! I loved it and thank you for it. Mike

Simply, - no comma needed here.
I did spy the Jewish woman - I did spy on the Jewish woman
A little long, but interesting:)

Hi MIke,
I wasn't online at all yesterday and have little time today. Having said that this is an absorbing story. Some of it I already know but your take on life is wonderful. You have been through so much but putting it to paper is cleansing to the soul. Well written and compelling....chey

It isn't really cleansing to the soul, in fact the conclusion makes my heart heart as I desired a much more positive message to present, instead of the stark reality I believe God wanted me to present. That's not only my explaination, but my story and I am sticking to it, because I wanted that much more hopeful ending.
It pains me to split the chapters up like I do on Fanstory, as I wanted enough space to title it, Visionary Footsteps and Gefilte Fish. Becasue of the final story, this part of the chapter is a bit of a summarization and also a briding portion to head to my last adventure and the conclusion. While I don't feel my soul is very cleansed, it is happy! I am exhausted as this turned out to be a three year project of total committment.
I thank you so much for this review. Mike

As I read and glanced at your picture by the memorial to Poe, I wonder how many times you have lingered there saying "Nevermore". I suspect you save the best for last -- can't wait to get into the Gefilte!

LOL, No I don't hang around Poe's grave, but it is funny as after that day there and at the house, I always seem to have a sense of him. Real or imaginary, I do find it a comfort.
No, the best is second to last I fear. I enjoyed this review and thank you for it. Mike
