(Author’s note: This is my 52nd filing on Texas to the World, which means, I reckon, my little endeavor is one year old as of this posting. I’ve been truly heartened by the responses to my work, the kind words, and the people who have subscribed and seemingly want to read it weekly. More flattering, even, is the fact that many pay a subscription fee because they view my narratives, analyses, and essays as having a monetary value. I guess I’ll keep going since I really have never known how to stop. Please share, and if you haven’t, subscribe).
