Hi Ralph,

Thanks... My first love was English. I don't know why I had to prove anything by digging into mathematics. Even from 1st Grade I got along with my English/Literature teachers. The Grammar school English teachers I had were always giving me books!

Thanks for your complement. That is a beautiful verse...

Happiness to you,
Joni

Joni - I like it!! You've got a good ear for language and Shakespeare.

My best man and I were both English majors, and he wanted to read Shakespeare's sonnet # 116 at our wedding.
(Imagine Jean-Luc Picard reading this. I always hear it in his voice)

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments; love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
