Thank you for the lovely reading. Not sure but Seamus may be pronounced Shay-muss as in Seamus Heaney. Not that it took anything away from the poem, either way. Thanks again.

Thank you. It brought me back to my dad watering the lawn, pulling taped hoses until they unfurled to stretch and reach that far away corner of the yard with just the right adjustment to the cascading arc. Wonderful.

Delightful on this summery day Clifford. Takes me right back quite a few years. The freedom of a bicycle in the 60s, head off to the beach! Great times! I could taste that Root Beer!

Ah, Clifford. Nice, but sober. As warm as a mother's embrace after a proper scolding. "You must be the change you want to see in the world." I think Gandhi said that. Peace to you, sir, this day and all year long. Thanks for this.
