My son and I listen to a Seattle radio talk show in the afternoon with Host Dori Monson on KIRO radio. Today after work he suggested I send the poem to Dori, as it is pretty much based on today's news and will only be fresh for a short while. Well, I did and Dori just responded and said it was fantastic and will be sharing it with his audience tomorrow. Holy Crap!

I dig it. Love and truth. Some get so paranoid and get into conspiracy sometimes and forget we are just people. Merry Christmas!

Yeah, Dori is the old skool guy around these here parts..... If some bigtime new guy had read it on his show it would not have had the same effect.... I'm sure all you Barners have new guys in town that don't get it... But here on the left coast things grow so fast that as a 67 year old where do you find other natives of your city? Thank you 'OldGold'

Great Job, Gary! Are you copyrighting? Or may we use it?

No thoughts on copywrite... I make my money making stuff outa wood. If somebody steals it, at least my friends know who really penned it. Use it. I say it's only fresh right now... Like the next week or so. After the 15th shipment of vaccine from the Pfizer plant it will be old news, not even on the back page.
