Willa Cather, O'Pioneers.
Gee Crafty, I'm impressed. We don't get literary references on the message boards very often.

Thanks, Joe - but all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, I'm actually literate. Even taught humanities at a university - I don't tell many people that, I don't wanna ruin my image...
...I still find it funny for a kid who grew up on the wharves of Newport when the people there actually worked hard for a living and drove late '40's pick-ups instead of Beemers and 500's and the effluvia was more wooden bait barrel than haute cuisine.
Sometimes when I write snippets pop up - like obscure pieces of music - and I forget where I get them from at times.
Willa Cather...
...boy, I have no where
that tidbit might have come from in the Crafty subconcious...
So, yeah, I'm an ex-English department owl...sans rumpled tweed jacket and pipe.
BTW,
real nice hoodies, gotta get one for Spring schoolie-wear...
