I find this one of the best pieces you have written. And that's saying something. I'm quite gobsmacked actually, by the, sort of blatant grains of truth and insight here. t x

I love this Ted the use of double-entendre is great and shiows an inteligent use for this (Britished favoured) form of humour.

I havn't had much time to get through your work but I will say that you are well adept at form. This has a very American feel to it whilst the content (though US English) is very British. A sort of cross between Bukowski and Betjamin.

Excellent...I've found that going it alone, for the most part, works best for me...If I make my own decisions, they can't come back and haunt anyone but myself.
I imagine it was a strict household and 5 stepsons as well as my own son, I never did encounter, 'the normal rite of passage of a young man'....but then, there were just some things I didn't search for.... I love the subjects, the diversity of your writing............marci.xo.
