Always a most excellent participant and a frequent supporter to all other contributers.

Love your wit and wisdom, found within each poem. <br />Happy writing days and lovely to have you back in the fold again!<br />Eileen<br />Eileen T O'Neill .....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03325632298717325699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-91896376392038915082015-03-04T08:31:42.684-05:002015-03-04T08:31:42.684-05:00Very interesting interview, Sherry!

Ollie was one of my first interviews, way back in 2010, when I wanted to know: is he really a monk? is he really tired? does he wear robes. LOL.
