Oh, thanks, Janet, and ditto back! this brought to mind a time when I was young
and was talking to a co-worker about poetry and said something about "Byron,
Shelley, and Keats," so she said "who?" and I said "oh poets, wrote such and
such, etc," and she looked at me and shook her head and said "boy, you sure
have weird friends"!
best,
Rebecca
