And I'm back again, said Nora
(with a monumental crash)
Never fear, fair readers, MiriyaB is here!
A very happy Whan That Aprille month to you all!
I suppose I am among the folk who longen to go on pilgrimages, since I am headed to the Holy Land in 10 days' time... and thence to Budapest, arriving on St. George's Day
(seems appropriate for our English sojourn, though of course he's not that English) !
See ya 'round!
Who is MiriyaB?
- MiriyaB
- I'm an observant egalitarian Conservative Jew with Reconstructionist leanings; I could see the Washington Monument from my back porch as a child; I moved to Kentucky when I was 15 and I can make a good pecan pie & a mean mint julep... My profile photo is from my Purim costume in '05; that's a wig I'm wearing, but not because I'm a Married Woman (which I am)...you shoulda seen what my husband was wearing (some of you have)!

Whence comes the quotation, Becca? It's stumping me.
It's Chaucer: opening words of The Canterbury Tales--so even if I haven't read Malory's Morte Darthur, I think that I might get sent to Medievalist Spouse Boot Camp for not knowing it ;) -- but others are not under the same obligation!
Oops! I meant this quotation, Becca: "And I'm back again, said Nora (with a monumental crash)." I got the Chaucer allusion.
Ah! I should have realized :) --
it's stuck in my head for years, from a children's book: it's from Noisy Nora by Rosemary Wells...
