Here I am a day late, but Rachel you have class, exactly what Mr Bales
has so far failed to demonstrate.
If he has not read Rachel's very fine book, he has no right to attack
it or the fact that it won a contest. Nor to so mischievously misread
her posts. On this matter, I agree with Alison & Randolph.
But I'd already decided I wasn't going to talk to or about him again.
Damn.

So stop wastin’ time tryin’ to soften up my fall
I know you wanna sweeten up the taste
But if you don’t mind I’ll just take my sorrow straight
