Self-Centered

“Do you see any leg wound, my friend I feel some pain, see drops of blood - the road we passed was stained.” The horse asked the cat, who detests blood or mud. “I don’t know,” answered the cat, nestled cozily in a bag strapped on the horse’s back. “I didn't feel any discomfort that might have been caused by your change in stride or slack.” 15 June 2015 No Rules Contest Sponsor: Rob Carmack

My friends, forgive me for being remiss. I know I have many comments and congratulatory messages I need to respond to. I hope to be back to my regular schedule by next week and I promise to catch up with you anytime I have some window in my schedule this week. Posting today just to let you know I'm still very much around and maybe leave a little something to chew on. Thank you for reading. Love, Kim
