Some information about the author
- I’m a young man in an old body, trying to catch up to myself, trying to find pieces of me I left back in a disconnected youth and the early years of manhood. I’m a stereotype of many in my generation who can play the ‘blame game’, yell ‘foul’, and ‘let’s start over’. But, we are what we are, the sum of all the scary kid-emotions we experienced, the gin mills and piano bars that became our sandboxes of pleasure – lotus eaters of the best (or, worst) kind, the love affairs that did not quite settle us down, the sad poetry and songs written in bars and motels along the way… A Dreamer! A Wanderlust! The world needs such fools as we to write our books, our poetry, our songs, to offset the madness that plagues the soul.

Hi there! I nominated your blog for The Liebster Award. (I see you already have earned it, but you are so kind to Re-tweet my posts, I thought I’d include you anyway) A little extra publicity never hurt anyone, right?
I wish you the best!

Hello, Billy! You are one of the fifteen bloggers I nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. The award says it all, I guess, and I believe you deserve it. Cheers! Congrats! =) — Francis (www.thefrancisbaraanivblog.wordpress.com)

Thank you for nominating me for the ‘Very Inspiring Blogger Award.’ You honor me. Hopefully, I can get about the ‘mechanics’ business of acceptance in the near future. My very best wishes. Incidentally, I’m following you on twitter.

Searching through postings and comments brought me to you. We have been among wolves… I have just begun this techno-writing. I do enjoy doing set ups for the memoir stories I have written. Take a look. I am building my blogger groups. Then maybe at a later blog time we shall discuss The Shack. In time.

The pleasure is mine. Thanks for your good posts – they remind all of us why we’re free and the heavy cost paid for our liberty. Hope we can change the current political climate of seeming apathy and ineptness. All my best wishes.

This was a startlingly familiar history, in how similar it is to my own (except the military). Uncanny… Except that I finally got out west, and was fool enough to leave for “a secure job”. The security is slim, and not worth the price. So now I’m Arizona dreaming; southwest dreaming — again. 🙂 Great big hug to you and yours.
