As I have read numerous biographies of his life, I know he also had many faults. Yet, I still appreciate the man and the good things he did do. <br /><br />PipeTobaccoPipeTobaccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746884792061867611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974811.post-5218573897087364812013-03-30T14:46:48.645-04:002013-03-30T14:46:48.645-04:00I agree with Harry.

I just said that I'm glad your talk went well and that your mood is somewhat improved. I also played the nanny here--said that I wasn't sure how well beer worked as a mood elevator in the long run. My particular "drug" is candy. I eat some and feel good, but then I eat some more and feel rotten. So be careful not to overdo it.( Did alcohol help Hemingway's black moods?) I'm just saying--to you and to myself as well--be judicious. I think longer days will put a "spring" back in your step.Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974811.post-11065150270708171032013-03-27T20:33:06.185-04:002013-03-27T20:33:06.185-04:00Sure he had faults, but he lived with them pretty ...Sure he had faults, but he lived with them pretty well.<br /><br />Always nice to spend an evening with others over a few drinks.
