Dear Sir, 3 and 4 are really tragedies with shadows of grief in them. All others made me laugh from the heart. I enjoyed the humour very much. At the same time, they also give us food for some serious thoughts, like sugar coated pills. Great work. Best regards,

There is obviously a lot for me to discover outside of my books. Thanks for the great read 🙂
Thanks so much for this information … I’m already doing some of these suggestions but there are many others that are new to me.
