Politically, I'm more conservative than I'm given credit for, due in large part, I think to heredity and environment (I grew up in a Republican area), so I was something of a supporter of Richard Nixon when he was President (the worst thing about that time, at least in my opinion, was that the public mood favored someone like Nixon). I did, however, go off the reservation often.
I clicked with Dick, I thought he was the one, Now more than ever... Oh, but there was another side. I laughed at the mimics who did his voice, I even traded a pair of peace signs with a pair of rad-libs while traveling through a college town. Spiro was my hero, I pulled for Tricky Dick, But Masters would have to know about my musical "distilled spirits". I was vulnerable when I heard the Midnight Cowboy's sad lament, Like my youth, the song was sad and lonely. Hope Tricia never knew.

Steve,

I'm one of them, too. Conservative, Republican, what have you - we pin our hopes on a man, and more often then not, are sorely disappointed when they don't live up to our expectations. Well penned.

(((HUGS))) love and Merry Christmas!, Karla.

Tricia was a real beauty. So was this writing, although tongue and cheek. Great Job.

GOD BLESS
