I have found the reason for writing my books--snared within this quote--

Thought you would want to know.

Thanks Bernie....
What Ol' Tom didn't mention was his sickly self that chose writing, mainly poetry, as a pastime for his creative mind. He wouldn't have been at all
competitive in any of life's dog-pits of the day.
I think the quote fits you better than Tom. Adopt it as your own. Tom would like that.
Thanks again.

Although I was a bit uncertain as to the meaning (or background) of the original post, it is clear as a bell after Dennis's response.
And while we're on the subject, although or because I have heard a few opinions to the contrary, I must say that Dennis has been a wonderful addition
to Nomads. A modern day intellectual !! Thanks.

I'm wondering, Duo.
Thanks Diver and Bernie. I'm going to print this thread so as to read it when times get tough here. Won't be long, will it.

Dennis, this must have all gone to your head as you didn't show up at Paty's for coffee this morning. Were you drunk from all the glory?
Actually Dennis is a great guy and a good friend.
