    2. She is the unsinkable Molly Brown and will not be slowed down by such medical events. She is stronger and tougher than yours truly. Ever onward! Thank you, Marly.

Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.
