Ahh, Brenda, I can always rely on you to give excellent explanations on such a vast array of topics. I'm reading Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart now. (50th Anniversary Edition). Brilliant man.  |

I was about to edit my reply Dalene. Of course it's "Things Fall Apart" Achebe's perfect response to Conrad and it's sitting right in bloody front of me under the As in my bookshelves. I tell you, getting older and having memory glitches are not for the faint-hearted
 . Thanks for reminding me, Dalene. I know you probably also know this but the term was also associated with women--dark, mysterious, tangled moist jungles (think hard) and there are several feminist essays from the early years (70s and 80s) tackling this issue and how it affects women's lives. Great fun. Brenda Travel is only glamorous in retrospect. Paul Theroux (1941 - ), in The Washington Post |

Brenda: Do you sort your library alphabetically by author?

Yes, I do, Caitie. Even criticism and theory is alphabetized otherwise I'd never find anything. Although it's a lot easier now, I must tell you. I gave away several bookcases of books to our grad students and others when I retired.
Brenda p.s. it's hard however to find a logical place for the different versions of the scriptures and scriptural writings I have -- under G, do you think?  Travel is only glamorous in retrospect. Paul Theroux (1941 - ), in The Washington Post |

Brenda: Not if you're aiming for consistency. I think those were written by M. |

Rex, you never, ever, need to ask me for forgiveness. You're a bright spot in my day, both you and dalene, actually.

Oh Brenda ~ I wish I could drop by and have a cup of tea with you - or better yet, I will bring a bottle of our best Chenin Blanc and and I will ask you so many questions - about Canada, about the great English writers and English literature and about your life and, and, and ...!

Rex, there is nothing dark about you, only that you're from 'darkest' Africa (as the saying goes) but then according to evolution so is the rest of us |

Poor Harry! and poor Beautiful Backside . At least he will never forget you!We had a couple on our tour who farm alpacas. We learnt a lot about breeding 'procedures' one night, some things I didn't really need to know. Our TD's eyes were just about popping out of his head . Ah the people you meet! |

)When he starts yawing they know that it is not the right time. But boy if it is the right time poor Harry try to perform.He is all teeth and gums and screaming to high heaven,but alas all in vain,for it is not to be.the mare is taken to a lucky stallion and poor harry must starts to drink water for all his sorrows.Once in a bluemoon he gets something and it was here that I ask beautiful backside if Harry make use of the gift or if he think that it is another teasing lady and then back went to his water.He starts to answer but realise that it was a bit tricky and what a pretty blush the pretty boy has. |

Rex ~ You are a source of delight & the wait was worth it for your tale. Thank you.
I hope you will post a photo of B.B. on the B.B. so we can all admire what you so enjoyed. Live each day....instead of counting the years. |
