An ordinary man
In the aftermath of the (fortunately transient) passover of the Spotlight of public attention upon his humble blog (three "ofs" in one sentence. record high-score, whoo-hoo!) re-minisce has found himself undeservingly bestowed with expansive accolades like "terrific writer" and "great writer".
Re-minisce is grateful, but is simply, none of the above.
He once knew someone who wrote in the same vasculature as he did - not quite in the same vein - for where his writing (he likes to imagine) flows, Hers pulsed. Were his wit honed, Hers was mercurial. Her turns of phrase wound convoluted spirals about his clumsy attempts at humour. In the shadow of a gifted mastercraftswoman, re-minisce was reminded that he was but a common tinker with words.
Since Her passing from his existence, he has had to settle for poor second-place substitutes like this, and this (tongue firmly in cheek).
Small wonder then that he can't help but to fondly Re-minisce.
