OK -- now, I get it and love it -- love it ---intend to print it verbatim and frame it ... seriously. Never imagined that 3 years later you would still be remembering, let alone writing of it. Thank you.

By all means, feel free to print this out! I have that kind of mind, which is what makes me good at photography I think. This trip really meant a lot to me. This has been a two year project, and I have three more chapter to post and two more to write, with the last being a baby one that sums it up.

I actually wrote a concluding sonnet which is already posted and also published in Poems of The World. It is called, "Imortality on Borrowed Time." I call this a bio because as best I can get it, it is honest and there no auto about it becuse it refuses to write itself. Possibly dedicate this to those who told me to get a life.

It is a pleasure to have your review this and bestow many compliments on me. Mike

A interesting story. Most of us have written fact and fiction. It always amazes me that most readers assume the poem is true and is about the writer

This chapter is true as it is part of my biography, that I dedicate to all those who told me to, "Get a life!" Frankly, I felt I have lived two so far. I thank you for reading this.

Oh, it is interesting to note as with the case with me, while I talk in terms of facts, one never has the pieces to the puzzle that still may have me creating a fiction. I found that aspect to be extremely interesting. With regards to writing, a few chapters back wrote, "No matter how accurate I try to be, I still have had to bullshit my way though writing it. In fact the next several chapter are like that and everyone should have a part of their life like that.

I thank you for your review. Mike

Shame you name isn't Jimmy Deen. It actually fairly easy, just cookup some potatoes. Break them up and mix in ham, sausage, onion and bell pepper if you like, then mix the cheese with the egg and pour on top. Cook at 350 until the eggs and sausage is done. I call it the cowboy breakfast.

I loved reading this review and appreciate the compliments and humor. Thank you very much for reading this. Mike
