Please ask Will whether he considers Marc Antony (Julius Caeser) to be the epitome of politicians of all eras.

I remember reading the play in high school and was struck by his speech when he said that we have come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Then he goes on to praise him and lead a revolt.

Right. Marc Antony was a smart one, like, yes? Subtle-like. Brutus says to him, he says: "Right, mate. No speaking out against us, right? The Roman people think we done wrong, and it's straight off with our heads, innit? So Antony, he says nothing against them as ordered, but incites the crowd, anyway. Ironical-like. Smart lad."

that he was articulate enough to say "innit?"

I talk like that and now I can turn to Brutus and say, "Et tu, Brutus?"

I'm sorry your week has been awful...

My week has been surgical and less than fun too. Although the fact that I'm tired might have something to do with that...

<--- for you and Will..

Damn! I hate it when my connection won't hold long enough to post intelligently.

That's low-alcohol beer common for drinking at breakfast, and for serving to children. (No, really...)

Good morning...
