Godot's Ghost
I've read Waiting for Godot about half-a-dozen times and seen it twice on stage many years ago. I can never make up my mind if Godot is God or death, or if Estragon and Vladimir are in Hell or Purgatory or in a care home near Clacton-on-Sea. Anyway, this isn't really about Didi and Gogo.

Don't Ask

The Esoteric Few

Hi Ed,

loved this. Any reason for "night-lite" vice "night-light"? You have "nite-lite" at the end. Should "swats" in "swats-for-mocks" be swots (like I was)?
Well done.

with them Stephen, and for spotting the typo. I'm not sure where it's going yet, but it's not going anywhere before next week as I've a few things to do until Friday.

heartfelt poetry.
You have a typo in the last line. 'Liaison' looks funny, but is the correct spelling.
I enjoyed this.

I'd seen this yesterday. A bit of a sideways look itself, as I'm sure you intended.
You have a typo in para 6

I wonder if you could have strung (ho,ho) the reader along a little longer. Not reveal that there are no strings quite yet. No matter. I'd be interested to read part II. Some might protest that your piece is a little over-written, but I think,...

You have a typo, doubtless caused by your "spool chukka", in para beginning 'In 1969...'

The beauty of
