Sorry, but I'm not allowed to have the lap top in the "Throne Room" since that one little incident.  But, check out the web site, anyhow. |

Thanks! The best part is being able to read your well written musings without the whole thing being in italics! (For some reason the italics make your posts very difficult for my pea brain to read with good comprehension...)
(And yeah, I know I'm just asking for you to go redo the blog so it's in italics too... Hehehe...)

Very interesting, Willow. I think you should try your hand at a book. lol! Yeah, I'd like to do that. Not necessarily a full blown novel, but a collection of short stories. You think anyone would actually buy it?  I guess a book would be more suitable for the traditional "library". |

some great stories, we need more pic's and music.. I'll work on that 'Binder. I have some pictures, but as for the music, I never learned an instrument, so it'll have to be a cappella. |

The first story I read was the one about Tiger. Darn gnats got in my eyes.
I have an 18 year old boy at home that is still getting on pretty well for his age and I dread when the day comes that it is time for him to go.
Seriously, fine work and I look forward to reading more if it.

Just spent some quality time at your site Carl. You even got a from Dan!! You definitely have a flair for writing and a book would be interesting to say the least. I have Dan's work in my library and would love to add yours as well. As for the italics, Y'all should just tilt your screen to high right and problem solved. Seriously though, nice writing. I look forward to reading more. |

Just started reading the stories. Good job Carl. I always judge a story by how easy it is to picture the story in your mind. If you can visualize the event as you read, it qualifies as a good read. You passed the test. Looking forward to reading more.

The link has been bookmarked.
I refuse to relegate this literature to the confines of the powder room. I'll continue to catch a short story every chance I get until I've read them all. At the rate I'm going, that should be around midnight tonight.
I hope you continue to add to the collection.

Thanks, Dag and Fudd. I'll keep adding them. I wouldn't expect the rate to average more than an entry every week or two (unless, of course, I get set ablaze by all your encouraging words ). |
