Thanks for stopping by :)

Quality, as herein, is what saves everything from becoming mere caricature. Your form, rather than being predictable, has become precise and concisive. I use the form because the subject and the sentence demand it. Well done.

I resisted the urge to read all of your pieces when I first ventured into your world here...and am glad I did as it's my privilege to dine on a piece every now and then :)
