Hemingway, remember ?
Truth, bravery, desire, betrayal, and sometimes failure: these are elements of character and of a character.
That is what I am up to these days. I've waited too long to get here to stop now.
Also, a desktop picture. I like seeing these when I write.
Those are some Vargas playing cards in the background. Have to have a touch of wrong to appreciate the right. At least, I have a touch of wrong around anyway.
