Long Strange Trip/Hiatis

Here bygynneth the Book  of the tales of Caunterbury

1: Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
2: The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
3: And bathed every veyne in swich licour
4: Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
5: Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
6: Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
7: Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
8: Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
9: And smale foweles maken melodye,
10: That slepen al the nyght with open ye
11: (so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
12: Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
13: And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
14: To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

When April with his showers sweet with fruit
The drought of March has pierced unto the root
And bathed each vein with liquor that has power
To generate therein and sire the flower;
When Zephyr also has, with his sweet breath,
Quickened again, in every holt and heath,
The tender shoots and buds, and the young sun
Into the Ram one half his course has run,
And many little birds make melody
That sleep through all the night with open eye
(So Nature pricks them on to ramp and rage)-
Then do folk long to go on pilgrimage,
And palmers to go seeking out strange strands,
To distant shrines well known in sundry lands.

Well folks, it's April and I'm off on a pilgrimage, a quest if you will. It will take me away from the blogs and internet for at least the next 3 months. I will return with tales of wonder I hope. Till then, be safe, kind to each other and fight the good fight.

Thanks for the fellowship.

I will be closing the blog to comment as I will not be able to monitor it.
Any reports on my demise or other conditions are bogus unless posted here.

Sorry to be so cryptic but don't know where this is headed or how it will turn out. Suffice to say. "It's a good thing"
