Thank you I really appreciate that. Catcher in the Rye though... When you read it as a young kid Holden Caulfield is cool and you love him. Re-reading as an adult and he turns into a whiny brat. I wanna choke him just a bit. Just so he gets the message.,.. or is that just me?
I leave you all with this in light of the pandemic

WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEYOut of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
