After posting my last piece here I leave, stay out for almost three days, & when I come back there's more of you!

24 followers now?...almost twice as many as the last time I checked. Where did y'all come from so quick?? How many of you are human & not bots? If you're human, please leave a comment...I like having a sense of who's behind a screen name.

Saying "this is awesome!" or "this sucks" doesn't tell me a lot. If you can say why you think the piece is great or why it sucks, I'm much more likely to seriously consider your comments.
