I have often imagined taking to the air, gliding on high, suspended in flight. What whimsy, all that dipping and fluttering… downright thrilling! On the other hand, I would also enjoy stealthy, impossible to catch sight of, behind the scenes snooping… so much playful mischief. Delightful!

I’m a monster of a cry baby…and a CARD-CARRYING UGLY CRIER at that. It’s primal, that bawling of mine, and it doesn’t take much to get that ‘bawl’ rolling.

Existing in a fuzzy, hazy, out-of-focus, blurry world for much of my 65+ years, I have often dreamed about what it would be like to have picture-perfect visual clarity. Perfect eyefuls sound heavenly. You 20/20 folks have no idea how nice it would be to wake up and not have to feel ones’ way to
