Thanks Katie, I see bits of myself all over this article. Some of what might be considered favourable and some not so.

I'm not fond of extreme terms such as bad or good but I don't feel that I'm a bad man. Indeed, other than perhaps a biological male, I am not sure exactly how to define 'man' and even there some would argue the toss with me.

What I do know is that I can be or have been or sometimes am almost all of the characters you picture in your piece. Thankfully, some are very much past and some I couldn't bring myself to be, I think, no matter how hard I tried.

Still, that's me - warts and all - just me. You said it. I agree. Thanks again.
