We address several topics, including masses, mass splittings between $π$ and $ρ$ and between $K$ and $K^*$, meson wavefunctions, charge radii, and the $K-π$ wavefunction overlap.15 pages, latexHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyOn the $π$ and $K$ as $q \bar q$ Bound States and Approximate Nambu-Goldstone Bosonstext
