Yes please continue to write, I enjoy your stories and writing style. I really admire the variety of vocabulary you use to describe the scenes. I also like how you know each character so well that I am becoming to know them too. I am happy to hear that you would like ideas, because I often think of a story that you could do a "number on" and was wondering if you would welcome it, so I will email you when it comes to me again.
I think you should be be published for print if your not already.

I talked it over with the clan and we're all agreed that you should continue too ... here's a little story written by a another cousin of yours a while back that I think speaks to your questions. Maybe not quite a good as yours but I think his stories are pretty good too ... only time will tell.

A man and his son were once going with their donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman passed them and said: “You fools, what is a donkey for but to ride upon?

So the man put the boy on the donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said: “See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides

So the man ordered his boy to get off, and got on himself. But they hadn't gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other: “Shame on that lazy lout to let his poor little son trudge along

Well the man didn't know what to do, but at last he took his boy up before him on the Donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passersby began to jeer and point at them. The man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said: “Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey of yours ... you and your hulking son?

The man and Boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the Donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the Donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the Donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the Boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the Donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together, he was drowned.

That will teach you,” said an old man who had followed them:

Please all, and you will please none!”

A hard lesson learned!

I will add my name to the list of readers of your blog. It hasn't been very long since I found it, but I'm sure glad that I did! Your writing style is great. It is very entertaining. Certainly much better than some very well know bloggers who just rant and rave and complain about everything. It is always a pleasure to read your blog. By the way, thank you for helping me with the Twitter issue that I had not too long ago. Keep up the great writing!

Listen to them John, and remember what Laertes' daddy said ... put another nickel in ... no, that was some other jackass. Be true unto yourself and if you are, the subject matter won't really matter, not at all ... well, not much, anyways. You, your passion and the uniqueness that is you will carry the day!

Well, I see they were out on ye olde course again today ... old is good and this is the oldest! We're thinking about filing a class action suit against the Royal and Ancient ... It's in the rules that jackasses aren't allowed on the course but for some reason they've made an exception, no not for our clan, the penguin, hare nor deer ... but for the tiger jackass!

They claim it was an economic decision and not discrimination ... no, not guns and butter ... shoes, beer and audience share.

Well, the old course had something to say about that ... Louis Oosthuizen, a nice young family man of whom few had heard, won by seven strokes while the tiger jackass was 13 back in a tie for twenty-third ... a non-factor, though his every move was chronicled by those that has written a different script.

They may have bought their ticket from the Royal and Ancient with their billions but they couldn't get it punched by the Old Course ... not this day!

Louis Oosthuizen, a nice young man ... a family man ... and like you, deserving of all the sweet feed that may come his way!

Your blog is a delight! I am English and your blog fits perfectly our perceived stereo-type of the American Country Hick. It's like The Beverly Hillbillies blogging!
Please don't stop. I never fail to laugh out loud at your posts.
