Dear Reader,
"Ah, But I Digress" is a continuing endeavor. Inviting the reader to my side of the rainbow.
I created this corner of the universe for people of incredible intellect and vivid imaginations. Join me in incidents and encounters; moments I found important, enlightening and absurd.
4,000+ visits!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know so many of you share my madness.
Tuck
