Betwixt and In Between (Free verse) by dougsoderstrom

There was a time in my life, When I was betwixt and in between, So............ confused as I was, I decided to do nothing, And that has made all the difference. Doug Soderstrom, Ph. D. December 27, 2004

Oh............. thanks. A few more questions, if you don't mind. I'll do nice ones this time, promise.

1) Your university let you get away with a dissertation called "Religious Orientation and Meaning in Life"? No offense, but that sounds like an Exit Essay by a rather precocious 8th grader.

1a) Did you write it in the seventies, or are you a latecomer to grad school and New Agey gobble?

2) Bunk. I know because I'm a Christian Humanist from way back and you're nothing like me.

3) What did you call yourself before you were Doug Soderstom, Ph.D.?

4) Regarding your #4 above, will you be deleting this poem now?

5) I live in the Middle East. Is there any way you can just scan your dissertation and post it on the net? Barring that, can I see highlights? Even the abstract would be killer.

As always, your friend in Christ,
