From the Author's Preface
These writings are NOT for children or teens. If you're an adult or almost an adult and you like them, great. Otherwise, you probably should find something else to read.
The writings here are snapshots of my soul. That's all. If you've ever loved me or been loved by me, ever disliked me or been disliked by me, if you've ever had much of anything at all to do with me or me with you, chances are you're in here someplace. And if not now, I'll catch you next time.
Enjoy, TT
