I did, except for the truck blowing an alternator! But even that experience had some moments I appreciated.

Thank you, William. Do you fish and/or write?

Thanks for asking, Phyllis. Yes. I don't fish much anymore but see writing poems as a way of fishing. There are so many correlations. Hope it's okay if I send along a link to some poems One Art published this week. William.

I really enjoyed reading your poems, William. I like your spare, evocative style, especially as you deal with difficult subject matter. I'd encourage you to share the link or another of your poems in the "Show & Share" chat: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/324b277c-1f0e-4ca7-9dbf-d391a2510f01
