Sorry not to have been around much of late, been neck deep in getting my latest book edited. My fingers, (or the laptop) have of late become very careless, the spelling is getting bad! Thank the Lord for spellchecker, it saves the day. Still not bad for a four finger typist who’s cranked out nearly forty books. Did a word count of the books the other day and found that I’ve typed over 1.6 million words in all. Not bad for a guy with only four fingers fit to type with, (and not working as a gossip columnist.) Done now for a while, and can take some time to enjoy the fun being here on the board again. Miss the great recipes, and the graphics of you gifted creators of visual art!

What good news! I was starting to worry about you and am glad you've been absent for good reasons.

40 books! I had no idea it was so many! But got a question, you have KEPT 1.6 million words; how many do you think you've actually written?

When your fingers frustrate, remember the old mechanical typewriters. Not only were they harder physically to type on, if you made a mistake you started all over again.

So, would I be interested in any of those books? Are they poetry all? I might need a signed copy.

I miss those wonderful breakfasts you used to serve us, too! (Sniff sniff)

And, your poem "At The Bijou Of Our Lives" was very meaningful - and almost impossible to find a graphic for.
When I finally found the 'perfect' one, you should'a heard me "WHOO HOO!"
