Michael

I don't write as much as I should given all of the self-characterization I base on it. Nor do I feel much anymore, except tired. I take a lot of naps and probably use too many semi-colons; hyphens, too. I like guitar, and I used to like my dog, who is now recently deceased. His name was Buddy. To conclude, three quotes:

"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader." - Robert Frost

"It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be." - Virgil

"A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die." - Franz Kafka (my favorite author and most pervasive influence)
