Great memoir, CT. Who needs those stinkin rainbows anyway?

Ct - from that response I guess things either went really, really well for the little guy or really, really bad!!!!

Very clever. I'd rather have the gold than the rainbow any day!

Your writing skill hints at the continued existence of rainbows, CT. Good stuff.

It was always just an illusion.

Congrats on the MOTD! This one definitely deserved it!

Congratulations!
I'm greedy I want them both...just do.

Knoxena says,

I think the rainbow is following you...for you are golden.

unknown116 says,

I like this! I kind of want a back story...
And Knoxena, very adorable comment.

ctgoods2 says,

Aww thanks guys

Level1 says,

I wonder, does the rainbow disappear when you find the gold? Kudos on the MOTD :-)

favepeep says,

Tough trade off. Congrats on MOTD.

Dhani says,

Sounds enigmatic. Any moral to your memoir? Curious.,..

ctgoods2 says,

Favepeep nailed one of the possibilities.

oopsalittle says,

I'm never sure about rainbows -
better to go for gold
congrats on MOTD

Dhani says,

(A rainbow can also be 'a hard ride'...but often worth it, if you read autobiographies or biographies of famous people who did get to the end of the rainbow....and back quite successfully. Trade off, no. Like tango-ing, it takes the both th pot of gold AND the rainbow...I think...)

ctgoods2 says,

Thanks oops - sometimes a sure thing beats the illusions.
Dhani - ever the alternative perspective. As always, the memoir means something specific to me, but is always subject to interpretation. I try to write 'em so they can be interpreted broadly, if not ironically.
