 Friday night produced a winner named TDK.


Now, here is the 2nd cover with Samuel L. Clemens on the cover. He is a lot younger in this portrait for sure (than the previous cover.

Again, I hope this read was interesting for someone.

In other good news that I have not mentioned yet is that my brother Jack is finally back home in Florida. He had been living in Douglasville, Ga for the last apx 40 years after being in Ocala for 18 years or so. He now resides right behind my house. He is renting and should be my neighbor for about two years. When my old neighbor retires and returns from N.C. That could always change though so we will see then. My brother Jack is 70 years old (14 years older than me). Basically since I was around 4 or 5 years old, he had been out on his own and other than the yearly Christmas visit that is all I seen of him. That should be all different now. Until he gets annoyed, he is older than I who just so happens to be the youngest of all siblings and I truly love being a pain in the ass (from my sense of humor). From the time I was a teenager and he was an ordained minister, I could always always make him cuss (beat him badly at everything) especially basketball. Drove him nuts. I loved it. Hey that's just me, he is my only brother so with all of the sisters (1 is here in Ocala), he is not related to the other sisters I must take on the role of the pain in the ass sibling on a daily basis. It doesn't take much to get him fired up, but I'll be a little nicer than I used to be, but I ain't letting him win at anything, lol.

  1. My Brothers live close to you, I left FLA almost 7 years ago after living there for 36 years. Maybe I'll return for a visit someday. Maybe.

  3. Very interesting. Kind of strange to me that they chose him as the subject of one of these, as his connection to Masonry was so brief and tentative. Have fun annoying your brother!

  5. A great writer, a great person? Who knows? Hopefully the legacy I leave behind will be genuinely positive. Enjoy the present you have especially with your brother in the neighborhood.

  7. That's awesome that you and your brother are gonna be so close to each other. I have two brothers and one of them is 14 years old than me. My plan is to move out by him or move in with him (at least for parts of the year) when I retire... since he lives on the central coast. I'm sure he considers me to be a pain in the butt too.
