I have read with delight and nostalgia, all twelve too short days of
Bills
trip.  To see the result of his hard work is a joy, and Bill, I know how
hard you worked to perfect your journal.  Thank you for your sharing of
your
excellent adventure.  Ok, now who's next?

Bill, thank you for a fine and evocative tale!  I doubt
that we will see its equal for some time.

elle: (our own quondam e. e. cummings)

As I was advised in my college years, concerning 
amatory adventures: "When it's getting late, 
prevaricate," not that I ever followed that 
pernicious suggestion, of course.

(Main Entry: pre.var.i.cate
Pronunciation: pri-'var-&-"kAt
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -cat.ed; -cat.ing
Etymology: Latin praevaricatus, past participle of 
praevaricari to act in collusion, literally, to 
straddle, from prae- + varicare to straddle, from 
varus bowlegged
: to deviate from the truth : EQUIVOCATE
synonym see LIE)

Perhaps we can go from the well-finished truth 
to the unvarnished, but well-polished and time
honored tall tale?
