writing down the word "hapless" now - I have never used it, but this is about to change.

Thank you, Robert. Not a whole lot, I suspect. Best thing is to recognize it in others.

I read in some comment that you will be undergoing surgery. I hope that at this moment everything is going well with you and that you will soon return to posting your poems, so necessary for all of us. Good recovery Milton!

Marco, I've been home from the hospital for about an hour. I had an angioplasty and two stents inserted into my heart yesterday. I'm doing very well. Thanks so much for your inquiry.

I'd think it would be the "awareness" of deceit that is the defeat of deceit, John....or the "detection" hmmm...a poem in the making, eh?
