Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Sorry I've been away this evening - I've been vanquishing the iniquitous on a hostile forum.

It's getting back to August in the Belly of the Beast - rather humid today. As is usual in this time of year, the Office was like a tomb - only the true workers around. I went out late morning for an extended walk - - had I waited until afternoon, it would have been unbearable.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening –

"Where shall I hide my forehead and my eyes?
For now I see the true old times are dead,
When every morning brought a noble chance,
And every chance brought out a noble knight."

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

You were able to get out and walk...slow and easy.

Good for you!
