Thank you so much, Scott, this was such an honor and I was humbled to be on a list with such wonderful poets! I could have sworn I thanked you way back when, but here is the empty reply space, so please forgive me ... I'm usually very conscientious about such things. Blessings and thanks, my friend! :-)
