I'm gonna be driving around half-pissed for the rest of today. As if that 'aint bad enough, I woke to learn someone has just cut me a huge break, whoopee -not. I only claim to be a photographer, I never claim to be a good one, and I'm paralysed with fear. Onward and upward, eh? Think it's time to find a drug-addiction, crack might do it.. Anyway, I digress (sorry). Reluctantly, I have to confess the hang over was worth it - and consider yourself a permanent fixture on my site, you're linked, like it or not! Hope you have a better day than I'm about to have.. I'm loading up the tri-pod as we speak - wish me luck! <em>Les Says: I would like to state, publicly and for the record, that I had ONE BEER. ONE. It still felt like a party, though, and I didn't want to get up this morning... but it was "Mom & Dad Day", which entails a Walk-About, and I got some rather amateurish pics to post as well, coming up.

Ok, Langston Hughes I am not. But here’s to your dream not drying up like a raisin in the sun.

'Bout time, girl, you show your true colours, and come out like the true writer you really are. Bit disappointed I can't kick you're ass here.. wonderful post.. felt I was right up there driving with your sweet daddy. You are sooo much better than that last post. It's rare to find a talent 'round these parts, so keep focused, and keep posting (thanks for that "nasty" rep, made me proud). Loved this story (did his house really burn down?) You're alright, I guess... only on probabtion, mind! <em>Les Says: No, no! It was MY apartment ("flat" to you, I suppose) that burned. Chair and all.
