Mark Twain, real name Samuel Clemens, is my hero. He lived a long and difficult life, but he lived it with grace and humor… most of the time…well, some of the time. I would very much like to be just like him… ‘cept I ain’t dead yet and have no plans on that score… but I would like to also be like him in having something important to say that can be said to somebody who isn’t even born yet, a hundred years or more from now, the way that Mark Twain spoke to me.

He spoke to me too. He said he wanted me to quit trying to copy his style because I wasn’t doing it right.
Yep. I try not to copy too. It’s hard to write 21st Century humor with 19th Century style and wit.
These are difficult times for the Twain wannabe.
