Waking the Sleeping Giant

I was startled but intrigued to find such a civilized conversation unfold on the comments section of yesterday's blog. You can follow it here. Let me explain that thought...I was surprised to see an actual conversation, not that it was so civilized. I rather like how thoughtful and kind my readers have been over these past few months. I applaud my dear readers for said civility and the pains that were taken not to offend those of differing opinions. I wish that sort of dialogue took place more often; this world would be a heck of a lot better place if it did. Please continue to take on issues I touch on if you wish; I think this would be as good a place as any to do so.

Also, Cicely came through on her promised rondeau! You can see it here. Despite her protests, I appreciate her efforts as always.
