    Merry Christmas and a fantastic start to the new year. There's no doubt it will be fantastic.

    What a thoughtful, useful gift. The lucky recipient will be reminded of you frequently.

    Thanks for your comments, Sam. They mean a lot coming from an accomplished poet like you.

    An excellent poem with an extraordinary visual appeal, Sam. It does appear at first to be something like a mirror, but many of the reflections on one side are polar opposites of the other. You have combined symmetry and asymmetry in a most appealing way. Keep up the good work.

    I thank you, Kevin. Sorry about the tears, but sometimes it is good for us to shed a few. Now, you know you shouldn't read the end note first. Always read the poem first, then the poet's comments. You should reach your own conclusions, then see how they contrast with those of the writer. I always hope my comments will entice the audience to read the poem again. The real question is whether I should comment on my own work at all. I usually do, but it might be better for each reader to find for himself what the poem means to him.

    Thank you, Joey, for commenting on the poem. I agree with your comments about war. I don't guess I am a true pacifist, but I should be after all I have witnessed. We certainly don't hold politicians responsible for their decisions as we should. Love and peace, pardner.

    Graeme, thanks for your comments and thanks for sharing that song. I had never heard it before. The poem was difficult for me to write. They really were the best of friends. I started A Place Not Far about two years ago and I cried more than once as I struggled with the words. It brings me pain to live at a time when we are doing it again. My only consolation now is that we no longer have a military draft. My own sons can make their own choice.

    I finally got to read the chapter via an alternate posting which Myr provided. Thanks for that. To get back on topic, namely discussing the story: Don't do it, Shane! You have a promising career as an actor. You don't want to turn the management of that over to a nameless bureaucrat in one of the lesser European royal families. Set your own terms for the relationship with Johan. Forgo the title. Control your own life. Great chapter, Dan. Please keep them coming.

    Just to keep Admin informed, I still cannot access the new premium chapter. Thanks in advance for your help.
  12. MikeL
    Thanks.

    I can read premium stories in the old system, not in GA.Stories. In GA.Stories, I can read any story except my own.

    Still not working here. Now I get the message which is incorrect. Renewal: Premium Content - 6 Months 20 November 2010 - 11:22 AM $45.00 Tried a different browser...same result.

    The chapter doesn't seem to be there, Myr.

    Perhaps it is. Perhaps she is. Just kidding of course.

    The pattern was established long ago, phana. Guys tend to do stupid things when motorized.

    I've used it all my life, but my wife, the English teacher, claims there is no such word. It's not only in Wiktionary, but also in unabridged printed dictionaries.
  19. MikeL
    The best place to post such an issue is in the Administration Communication forum.
