I'm hooked. <br /><br />Every time I think I might actually be a pretty good writer, I encounter someone like yourself who writes so beautifully and who actually has something wonderful to say. Your words seem to flow so effortlessly (I am enough of a writer to realize that you probably put a lot of effort into it, but still...) that I am green, green, I tell you, with envy.<br /><br />I am 68, male, and live in Georgia. I came here from Ruth Hull Chatlien's blog. I look forward to reading more of your stuff.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-11508151184928572182009-04-25T09:00:00.000-07:002009-04-25T09:00:00.000-07:00This post is amazing.
