Being a two-finger typist...You're welcome, Bob.<br />Being a two-finger typist lends itself to being spare with words!<br />Unfortunately, I never had typing in school.<br />I envy people who are fast typists, like you are.<br />My mind works much faster than my fingers!<br />John MontalbanoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253425232909087917.post-5935417647224623262012-01-07T11:23:06.540-08:002012-01-07T11:23:06.540-08:00Thank you, John, for your kind words.

Your Comment was also spare and, to me at least, a rich treasure.<br /> Thank you, my friend.<br /><br />All best,<br /><br />BobBob Dutcher aka Grandudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181553280321294482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253425232909087917.post-42731604941797914452012-01-07T11:08:03.018-08:002012-01-07T11:08:03.018-08:00I like your poem, Bob.
