I’m embarrassed for embarrassing you, Basilike – no trouble at all, please find a link below – I’ve been a contributing writer (barrista) over at https://godoggocafe.com for just over a year – Christine Ray got me into it after guesting for a while. https://godoggocafe.com/2019/02/06/solitude-eric-edc-writing/

That is quite a compliment – thank you. I’ve just signed up to email notification of your posts – I miss too much stuff from a lot of folk with my ad hoc checking of my Reader.
