Born on this date in nineteen and twenty, His life may not have been full of plenty, Though lived his life he did with what he knew, Left this life he did right on cue� My dad he was, he did his best, I may not agree with his way, But I can�t fault him for trying, He has gone on to continue his quest� He did quite altogether fine, He crossed many a line, Sometimes his smile did above all shine, Died he did in the year nineteen and eighty-nine� � ed ~ 12/6/05

Said in the unique way that only you can...

I am glad that his life and story go on and on in the way that you immortalise him here... and in the way that you remember him so faithfully every day of the year, I am sure, and not just on the last 16 12/6s. Doubtless you are one and the same stuff, man and boy... even down, too, to Frank's ol blue eyes! Do it your way, Ed, as you always do! He will be up there proud! Fine tribute and happy remembrances. Bless you, Kate xx

My many years with Authors Den will come to a close in May, thank you to all that has reviewed of me, I hope you all continue on to your own end...

Most likely my END or maybe NOT!

Yep, it''s that time of the year again, break out the credit card...

Merry Christmas...

We all got em''...

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?

...NEAT...
