Mine is like a cat -- if I turn my back on it, it's there, in my lap. If I go after it, it runs under the couch (:Cliffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981816941459227266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-32685315937767680362007-08-14T15:55:00.000-05:002007-08-14T15:55:00.000-05:00Excellent post, Charles.

It triggers memory of lines from the <I>Exorcist Heretic</I> sequel: "I've come this way before -- on the wings of a demon."<BR/><BR/>Whippoorwills are the better side of that equation. I hope that both your fiction writing and New Orleans soar.Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-53871002028566456622007-08-14T13:55:00.000-05:002007-08-14T13:55:00.000-05:00Gosh, I am dried the minute I put my foot on Londo...Gosh, I am dried the minute I put my foot on London soil, my words dried, I try to write but the information overload here is too over welming, I also wanna pet her, wish she can come back.
