Hello mate, good to read you

Posted on Mon, 27 Apr 2020

Hello mate, good to read you again.  Nothing less than I'd expect from you, you have those writer's eyes that never stop looking at the world, I think we all do, but you find more beauty than most. It's one of the things I've admired about your...
