My Favorites

Dear Friends,

Below you will find a few of the stories and two poems that are my favorites. While some of these are my attempts at writing fiction, my trying to be funny, my attempts of writing cowboy poetry, my trying to acknowledge people I've found need acknowledging, others are definitely more serious. I truly hope you enjoy them.
