I am Catholic, and recently so many clergy have been accused of heinous crimes against kids and adults alike. Some, no doubt, are absolutely true. Others may be bogus, but who am I to judge? So I say my prayers for victims and perpetrators all. I rest my head upon my pillow. And I sleep the sleep of the righteous. Does anyone else feel my pain? If so, please do reply!

Smooth style. If you keep smoking (as in the pic) you will be an old man sooner than otherwise. Very nice piece- it leaves me wondering about you... Great story.

I like how appropriately it takes it's time getting to where it's going. Well done tribute to old-man style and how great it really is.

He died 21 years ago. He always had a bag of pipe tobacco in the breast pocket of his shirt. He was a WWII vet, and my mom always said that he got nervous during thunderstorms because that's when the Japs would shell his company imbedded in New Guinea. Thanx for jogging my memory of the old man. Namaste. It reminded me of my dad. He died 21 years ago.

I felt like I was there in the room, and I could feel the excitement as the announcer called out the racing stats. Also one of the more colorful and creative author pics I've seen; very evocative of the glamour of your imaginary 1930's Paris, and the Machiavellan personality of your Grandfather. Great writing.
