Thanks, friends. It would not have happened without Eratosphere. So Lance, it is I who am lucky to have you and all the other members. But thanks for the compliment!
Cathy, when I learn to write sonnets like you (I wish!) that will be a milestone.
Mike you will reach it. Hey, man, you have a book.
Jayne, on my next trip we can open that Champis anyway.
Bill, it made me quite dizzy! Dizzier. You have likely reached that milestone faster than I. If I had got that Kate-clone it would have gone faster.

Maryann. Not to forget: Excelsior: the Shades of Night by A E Housman
The shades of night were falling fast
And the rain was falling faster,
When through an Alpine village passed
An Alpine village pastor;
A youth who bore mid snow and ice
A bird that wouldn't chirrup,
And a banner, with the strange device —
'Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup.
Beware the pass,' the old man said,
'My bold and desperate fellah;
Dark lowers the tempest overhead,
And you'll want your umberella;
And the roaring torrent is deep and wide —
You may hear how it washes.'
But still that clarion voice replied:
'I've got my old goloshes.'
'Oh stay,' the maiden said, 'and rest
(For the wind blows from the nor'ward)
Thy weary head upon my breast —
And please don't think me forward.'
A tear stood in his bright blue eye
And gladly he would have tarried;
But still he answered with a sigh:
'Unhappily I'm married.'
Ed. Cally's agent and my fellow Hoosier! Thanks for all encouragement. Also, it is not hard to guess who Mr. Who is.
Charlotte. I should live so long.
Jean. Keep track of those statistics. You never know when you might need them to apply for a fellowship, or residency. KEEP COUNT.
Thanks all.
