Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine, washing line
They suit him fine

On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See-through baby blue
He dug it

Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see

Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne

Now he's caught, a nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it

Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see

Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne don't do it again.

Today, I am grateful for a certain person, he knows who he is, who encouraged me when I wrote my very first serious story a few short years ago. It was on another, unrelated site and I was exceptionally uncertain about writing it and it being good enough to share..
That story of just over five thousand words was the first time I had written anything like a real story and when I said I wanted to expand it he encouraged me to do so.
That story was called 'The Nurses and the Surgeon' and has now become 'The Nurses', 'Kindred Spirits, Distant Hearts', and 'The Long Road Home' and together they now exceed 270,000 words!

For that initial encouragement, I thank you, Kind Sir.



The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel. It's a wonderful way to live. It's the only way to drive.
Last night My son called shortly before midnight. A water pipe had burst in his boiler. I dressed and went to his house (about two miles away) and quickly ascertained that it was a simple repair. I shut off the water and today went and bought him a new pipe and fitted it.
It is the simple things like this that make being a parent to two grown children such a joy.
Aww... Thank you, Carl.

An excellent writer and purveyor of all things military and whom I also consider a good friend.JoPZkF3TkKxtZNl6
