@Steve K.

That was a poignant animation video, probably one of the best I've seen. As for writing, it's just like any other art, it must be practiced daily.

Thanks for the kind words. I give a lot of credit to the poet, Mr. Robinson, who as you may know also inspired Paul Simon to write the song "Richard Cory":

I'm sure you're right about practicing writing, but my animation hobby takes up pretty much all my hobby time. I do enjoy reading, but its hard to find books I enjoy. I have a handful of favorite authors (Christopher Buckley, Thomas Pynchon, David Foster Wallace, Oakley Hall, William Kotzwinkle, a few others), but the current "best sellers" leave me pretty cold. I have discovered a series at Amazon that I like, New York Review Books Classics, most of which are 50+ years old and by authors I've never read. An example is "Store of the Worlds: The Stories of Robert Sheckley", clever, humorous, etc.
