I Sing the Body Eclectic
“..I speak the pass-word primeval…” Well, not exactly. Still can’t comment in my own blog, apparently a Blogger issue, but can’t discount Baby Blogger Bumbling yet. I apologize-working on it. To continue last week’s speculation, during my down-time I picked up “Walt Whitman’s America, A Cultural Biography”, by David S. Reynolds. Whitman aligned himself, in…

To explain- owing to economic and political realities, I recently retired.…
