Hard to express how wonderful it feels
to have your name show up
in the "from" column again, Ted.

The past couple-a-few weeks felt off.
The back of my mind kept wondering
where did he go?
Is he all right?
Now that the old dog came home
the back of my mind
and the whole damn family's grinning ear to ear.

The "who for" you refer to carries a whole lot of weight - even today.
Pretty much every door was opened to me back in the day;
when I carried legitimate press credentials
along with a polite attitude.
(with a few exceptions: like the '68 Democratic Convention in Chicago;
where Daley's boys in blue swung their clubs and shot their tear gas
at "press credentials" without giving it a thought - polite wasn't an  
option there and then)
