Feed my lambs

I just "found" an old htm file on our hard drive... The Arizona Daily Star did publish the 2005 "Feed my lambs" letter. They just put it in their on-line editorial page. And of course I saved it as an htm file so I could go back and look at it. Tooting my own literary horn, I have been able to see quite a few "letters" published in the Star in the last few years, not just in 2005.

I guess that qualifies me to be one of those crazies that puts an opinion forth for all to see in the (probably) least read of all newsprint pages. My local freinds (when they have been unlucky enough to be bored into reading the editorials) always ask me "is that you that wrote that letter....? Andy Rooney I'm not, but every now and then something in the paper (probably I shouldn't read it every day) triggers that old twitch in the literary area of what's left of my gray matter.

Then there's this compulsion to sit down and vent... You know what? I always feel a little better for having done so. Not that it will mean anything in the long run. Other than inspiring a few "oh, there goes that nut again!" comments which, fortunately, I never hear. Should probably stick to writing this blog, which no one seems to read anyway.
