medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks, Paul.
I've always been good at the immovable part, and now that I am getting
even shorter with age and have gray hair, I sometimes benefit from the
assumption that I am helpless. It can be charming when youths heft my
pack up to luggage racks, though I sometimes wonder if it occurs to them
that I have been carrying the thing for miles.
