To Be. . .sometimes is the ALL required. . . .
I am calling to touch base with you. It has been too long since we chatted I said. And after a surprised response she started and went on at great length finding her own equilibrium. I could do nothing for her except be an ear to listen. She called me the next day with…

We Build On Words. . . .
I have not been much of a television watcher but in retrospect I realize more people than not were. Not only watchers but some inadvertently imitators.
