Very kind of you to visit. The paperwork is very important in some of our jobs. Writing especially.

Sara, I never replied to your comment (my bad). It is not funny--we are cursed who are obsessive about things. I don't know what it is that causes some of us to go over and over things from the past that were never resolved in a good way.

Here is a late reply. We are who we are--and somethings just can't be changed. We can only temper the past by changing the way we deal with the similar circumstances in the present.

Preoccupied with their work let life pass by and fluss them in the end. Enjoyed every word of it. How tru, how sad for them. Marvelous thought, excellent expression.
