Saturday, January 19th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"He has much worthy blame laid upon him."

All's Well That Ends Well, Act IV, Scene 3, Line 5.

[Suich]

1. Excellent, Aristus!

I can't believe how ticked off I am at him! What a betrayal!

Thanks!

[Aristus]

3. Thank you, Suich.

Me, too. He was supposed to be an emblem of human accomplishment. Instead, he's an example of how hypodermics, evasiveness, and dishonesty can create a simulacrum of accomplishment...

2. Worthy blame, indeed!

[Denninmi]

4. I am becoming so addicted to these posts.

A highlight of the DU weekend. Thanks for doing this.

[Aristus]

5. I'm glad you like them, Denninmi.

Will loves an audience.

Several times, replies to WSTFTD were so few that Will would say: "That's it! Ta, mate! I'm to Stratford. The huzziff and the cubs will be waiting. Send a post-horse if you can put arses in the stalls again."

Which was his Warwickshire way of saying: "I'm going home. Call me if you want to do this again."

6. Perfect, my dear Aristus!

He is despicable.

[Aristus]

7. CalPeg!

How are you feeling?

((((((((((CalPeg))))))))))

[pinboy3niner]

9. I hope she's shouldering the challenges okay

I know...

Love ya, Peg!

[Aristus]

10. Har-har-har...

[pinboy3niner]

12. I tried to send flowers

Got the hospital address from her hubby by PM, looked up the local Conroy's, made the transaction--and then the damn thing froze. Ah, well. Will probably has a line somewhere about how it's the thought that counts. In fact, he may have a few lines that apply.

I'm tempted to let Conroy's know how much I appreciated their email confirming my registration.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I know you did, sweetie...

And I greatly appreciated your thought...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Ah, my dear Aristus...

I am OK, but very tired. My Hg. is only 7 .

And with only one hand........it's difficult to function.

I keep thinking...this too shall pass...

Thank you for asking, sweetie...

[Lady Freedom Returns]

8. Bravo!

Hit the nail on the head again!

[Aristus]

14. Thank you, LFR.

Will says he has a crush on you.

Well, "crush" isn't the word he used. It's something fairly indecipherable in the Warwickshire dialect. But he followed it with: "Go on then, lad. She will get my drift."

[Lady Freedom Returns]

15. I've has a crush on Will since I was 14..

And saw the Tempest for the first time. Next one was Midsummer Night's Dream.

[Aristus]

16. Will is blushing a little...

You should see it. Will is not a blusher!...

He recommends Twelfth Night to you.

[Aristus]

17. Kick for Sunday.
