Years ago, I was working in Italy, and Charlie Chaplin and his family came from Switzerland. We were at a beach north of Rome, and it was a very foggy day and the beach was lousy. At about three o'clock it cleared up, and Chaplin said, "I'm going back to the hotel. Unless I write every day, I don’t feel I deserve my dinner."[-->]
I just think that line from Charlie Chaplin is amazing. "If I don't write every day, I don't feel I deserve my dinner." I think that's my new mantra. No kidding.

Hey Mattie, I've always had a lifelong admiration and love for Charlie Chaplin. He was an amazing human being, I know he wasn't perfect in his early relationships before he ended up with Oona O'Neill (daughter of Eugene, the playwright) but what an incredible gifted person he was. I absolutely love your poems and writings. Someday I hope to have internet of my own and I will be on your sites constantly. Love you, Mom
