  1. I kinda love men who bite too! 😀 He’s a very charismatic reader. Terrible how it ended for him, though. So talented, such a tragedy. Alcoholism gets so many writers. I wonder why?

    • Haha, me too! He was incredibly charismatic. I love watching YouTube clips of his old television appearances. Or his turn in ‘Murder by Death’, which is an excellent movie. I try not to focus too much on his sad end, as there is so much to celebrate. I often think that writing simply attract types who are more predisposed to certain conditions, alcoholism among them.
