My God, sir, so March 8th is a holy day, when little Dougie emerged into and onto this plane of existance. Was that in 1942? I will send you tiny poem to my Aunt Jean to put with your other 8 poems in the section labeled PALMER POETRY. Have a Happy Birthday on Channel Four, and may you have a trillion more!

Nice apples, but the question remains, Why am I such a turkey?
I am posting your "Don Quixote" comment. Tres amusant.

Hey Prussian Anonymous:
I love that handle,"Happy Warrior". Doug has always been an eccentric iconoclast, who was too bored to join MENSA (?), and too smart to stay in college. In another age he would have been an apprentice to DaVinci, or a gopher for Gallileo. He is one of a kind, and now that he has taken on the Titans of Symphonia, he has found a conflict worth his effort and some of his focus and concentration.
In high school, we all thought he would be the next Buddy Holly, a rockandroller with black zyl frames, who in high school used the last name of his stepfather "Mercer", and we called him "The Big M ". I was two years his junior, and he had a car and a cute sister, and his mother liked me too, so I hung out with him for a time; and my stepfather let him rebuild a car in our garage in White Center.
The Army didn't know what to do with him, and the World had never seen one like him. It is a mixed blessing to have him back in my life again.
Glenn
