Bill and indeed Richard, There is always such a richness of content in what you share. I often find myself just reading and imagining myself away into your memories without needing or wanting to comment.....most odd to experience , but also a real pleasure to have the occasional moment here and there of escape to somewhere not experienced personally but so well shared!! Perhaps you could both pen autobiographies as VAL suggested? Thank you for the kind words, Pink. Much appreciated. Regarding penning an autobiography, I have kept notes and journals at various junctures of my life that, were I to pull them together with some vivid memories, might make interesting reading. On the other hand, I'm not sure it would be interesting and compelling enough to attract a publisher willing to shell out the cost of pubication. And I have met too many "wannabe" and "would be" authors at bars in artsy places like Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico and Sedona, Arizona who prattle on about books they have had published, and when pressed about their publisher, invariably admit that it was a vanity press (where you, the author, pay the press to bind and "publish" your work of poetry, memoirs, novel, etc.). That sort of pretentiousness has no appeal for me. Cheers, Bill
