Mark Valentine:
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

for all the Cub fans out there, from "Funeral Blues" by W.H. Auden

Mark Valentine: A fellow fanstorian (who shall remain nameless) told me that I had to put something in this section. She's a little pushy so I guess I'll do it (a very good writer, mind you, but a little pushy - just sayin').Trouble is. I can't think of anything to share. OK, here goes - I suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome - there - are you happy Robyn?
