I started a second website for my short stories/poems, at:

Even though it's in the beginning stage, feel free to visit and sign

my guestbook. I'll be loading more stuff in the future (need to get

an Optical Character Recognition program to load stuff initially

printed from a format incompatible with my current computer)

If you put the usual "www" in front, you get an error message. (Server gave me *both* addresses as workable! Unfortunately, the one

which does work still inundates you with pop up ads)

If you type it in (rather than copy and paste), that's a "zero"

before"catch", not a capital "O".
