Hello! Thanks for stopping by. It is my hope that by posting my writing and receiving some feedback, I might loose my fear of letting people read my thoughts and ideas. Residing in Northern Arizona, I keep busy elevating retirement to an art form. It is time to put down in writing some of the stories/poems/lyrics/letters/thoughts that have been experienced or dreamt. You know, years' worth of carelessly scribbled notes stored in that not so orderly file cabinet that is the mind. I do hope my lack of formal training doesn't dull the message.I need to hear your sincere comments, be they positive, negative, or in between.Allen
