: Hmmm, it appears the computer knocked off the at the end of that last comment. That was tongue in cheek you know.

: : Amen!

: : When I look back at the books I wrote in the late 70s and early 80's, I cringe. Not at the content because the stories still appeal to me even now. But I cringe because of the writing style.

I used way too many filters, too many qualifiers, and had I been paid by the adjective back then, I'd be a very wealthy woman now.
