Right now I'm watching me some All Star baseball.<br /><br />My neighbor took us out for dinner last night. My only complaint was that the restaurant was too noisy. A combination of loud acoustics and diners who didn't mind their conversations and laughter bouncing off the walls. The service and food were excellent. We started with a great salad, sort of a cross between a Cobb salad and a Waldorf salad. I had pork loin. Delicious! It came with perfectly cooked green beans and the best butternut squash I've ever had.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-71303310721344500852011-07-12T20:31:37.655-05:002011-07-12T20:31:37.655-05:00CA: Thanks!!

They had a command of words in a way that is difficult to understand today. I have always been interested in that period, and marveled at the depth of expression they could manage in a single sentence.

Oh, yes. I graduated from the University of N. Dak in 1946 with a B.S.E.(Bachelor of Science in Education). I imagine things are much more up-to-date now. Actually I switched from Liberal Arts to Education just before my senior year when I found out that I could complete my requirements a semester early by making the change. Never went for a Master's, though I should have, since I took many more units after I began teaching and would have had a better salary!<br /><br />Jayce, Netflix has "Splendor in the Grass" on its rental list.Are you a member?dodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06118973969033979741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-25898815164215196252011-07-12T16:54:26.432-05:002011-07-12T16:54:26.432-05:00@RSD, Maybe you should take C.C.'s advice and ...@RSD, Maybe you should take C.C.'s advice and preview your comments.<br /><br />That last one had a couple errors.<br /><br />Twenty dollars for that drivel?!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-83466048485296995482011-07-12T16:30:37.748-05:002011-07-12T16:30:37.748-05:00I've never been driven to the airport.

You're right Carol, not easy to understand. There's a lot of 17th century language from a guy who got his BA and MA from Christchurch College, Cambridge in the earlier 1600's. He wrote a lot of poetry and is best known for the epic poem "Paradise Lost"<br /><br />The poem is a basic 14 line iambic pentameter sonnet. The rhyme scheme is ABBA/ABBA/CDCDCD. It's about a young man who hopes that the nightingale's song is a good omen for his success in love. He hasn't had much luck previously. If the nightingale sings before the "rude Bird of Hate" cuccoo(cuckoo), his luck may change. Hopefully, the god Jove will listen and help everything romance-wise and/or poetry-wise to turn out to be hunky-dory.<br /><br />The explanation doesn't sound as elegant as the poem itself, but I hope it helps.Clear Ayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463641770718104835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-18011460981737442052011-07-12T15:41:05.710-05:002011-07-12T15:41:05.710-05:00Good day, cyber friends!

I began working the downs and just kept on because they fell in place. Then saw the BEER theme and continued with the across fill. Nice from Bill Thompson; is he a new constructor?<br /><br />Interesting to see BREASTS parallel ILOVEIT then TSHIRTS.<br /><br />Had LARSENY before LARCENY and no idea about LEONORA; it just emerged.<br /><br />Happy birthday, Sallie!<br /><br />I agree with the BES debaters but college professors would have economics and engineering degrees, wouldn't they but not necessarily bachelors degs.
