Hey, anyone notice the date?

[Gary L. Thompson]

Shall we all join in a chorus (F# minor, if you like) of "Happy 
Birthday"? This is a big 60, isn't it?

Several dozen posts ago someone mentioned a Dickinson poem. After seeing 
Donne cited several times, I thought I'd give Emily some space. (This may 
be relevant to discussions about capitalization in _M&D_.)

	I'm Nobody! Who are you?
	Are you--Nobody--too?
	Then there's a pair of us!
	Don't tell! they'd banish us--you know!

	How dreary--to be--Somebody!
	How public--like a Frog--
	To tell your name--the livelong June--
	To an admiring Bog!
