apologies to apologia
Actually, there is nothing for which to apologize, but I couldn't think of a title for this post.
I had a wonderful visit this afternoon with Mr. Luse, in his ancestral abode in Orlando FL. The name plate beside the front door is that of his grandfather. He served me some fresh squeezed orange juice from his back yard tree, and we talked for a couple of hours about literature, religion, fruit trees, different climates, and who knows what all else. I have to say that he is as great a conversationalist in person as on-line. His students no doubt don't appreciate the gift he is to them.
eat your heart out, micki! (said with love!!!!!!!!)

need i remind you of my favorite poem?
The Heart
by Stephen Crane
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter - bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

Methinks Alicia is too kind. Methinks, in fact, she exaggerates, but it's in a good cause.
