David has had a cold for about a week, the "My-head-feels-like-a-bowling-ball" kind of cold, but nothing worse. Another friend was down in bed for a week, without the strength even to clip her fingernails. Things "go around" this time of year. <br /><br />I'm impressed that you recited Archy & Mehitabel at Stone Circle. Seems it would be very challenging work to recite.

We're a bit under the weather ourselves--I think it has to do with running round with our coats hanging open on the first pretty days . . . <br /><br />The book looks like good medicine, though - I expected a little kid, and there was Amos! Oh good.<br /><br />I'm fond of archy and mehitabel, too. I once learned one of those poems and recited it at Stone Circle. But that was before my mind filled with large gaps, and all the poems fell into them.<br /><br />Finally, a friend sent me a little joke that went something like, "When you're searching for Mr. Right, make sure his first name isn't Always."<br /><br />Feel better.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
