dimly lit by half ~ moon's light, if followed, with deft allegiance,
a pondering patience, an ivy ~ laced perspective diminished, and a gate
half ~ open creaked, with barely the touch of my glove hand.
Of The Castles Bay, my view, where clouds flickered past the lunar half

For, many times, I had glimpsed this cat courting a type of order, a
decorative minuet stepped off, for each of the Four Seasons, always,
this clever feline, watering itself, with a temperate lap if its
sandpapered tongue, under a summer sky.
Until now, this very evening, in late ober. For here, I understood,
as the cat harked back to me, stood The Castle of Indolence. The moon
tarried, as hurried, far from town."

Word.
I just read a post Google found from this person where she claims to be
a "Virginia Hooper" from New York. If you Google for that name, you'll
find out what a complete and utter LOON this person must be! Quite

Her friend Erasmus will gladly tell you so ~
Madcap, oft, if no motley fool or bore.
Hot pink socks, if chilly, Folly sports,
To match her purple pinafore.
Peanut butter, her favorite stuff,
Atop a dollop of Marshmallow Fluff.
If spread on rye bread, toasted,
Folly frankly favors strawberry jam,
A side order of green eggs and ham.
Of etiquette and table manners ~
Folly is quite picky and sanitary.
If dining with Bards, she feigns not dumb,
Quotes Shakespeare with decorum and aplomb.
She's extremely fond of Capsicum.
On the matter of the linguistic skills of Folly,

These Front-Row Seats Come With a Lot of Sweat
By MICAH COHEN
After negotiating nearly 23 miles of the New York City Marathon
yesterday morning, Basil Ashmore, 51, and Herb Dershowitz, 61, veered
left off the course, stopped and called it a day.
Then they got off their bicycles.
They were 2 of the 78 cyclists who volunteered to ride alongside the
wheelchair and handcycle racers to prevent pedestrians and motorists
from wandering onto the course and into the athletes' way.
Kurt Fearnley of Australia followed the path that Ashmore and
Dershowitz cleared and finished first in a course-record 1 hours 29
minutes 23 seconds.
"That guy was really moving," Ashmore said. "It was not easy
staying with him."
Pedestrians and motorists seem less aware of the wheelchair and
handcycle competitions, said Bob Laufer, the coordinator of the
wheelchair division of the New York City Marathon. In past races, there
were near misses.
"Some wheelchair racers reported afterward that they had to swerve to
avoid pedestrians," Laufer said. "We just wanted to act before
anything major happened."
After the 2003 marathon, Laufer enlisted Richard Rosenthal, 67, a
former president of the New York Cycle Club, to help prevent collisions
on the course with a formal cycling detail. Rosenthal had volunteered
in 1991 and 1992 to guide the wheelchair racers.
"I recall all too well a school-bus driver backing up into the path
of an oncoming wheelchair, utterly irrespective of my screaming and
yelling," Rosenthal wrote in an e-mail message he sent to the
cyclists Saturday night.
This year, Rosenthal and Laufer provided the wheelchair and handcycle
racers with more protection than ever. The 78 cyclists who volunteered
yesterday were almost quadruple the total from 2004, Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal requires the volunteers he accepts to meet his criteria. He
asked riders to be able to maintain a speed of 18 miles an hour, which
is how fast the elite handcyclists can go. He asked the volunteers not
to talk to the racers because the distraction could give some racers an
unfair advantage, he said. And he did not want volunteers there for the
excitement alone, he said.
There were a few accidents yesterday among the wheelchair racers -
including a minor wipeout by Fearnley - but none were caused by
spectator interference.
Rosenthal assigned a pair of cyclists to each of 38 disabled athletes.
The cyclists rode on either side of the racer, always pedaling just a
little ahead. Wearing fluorescent yellow vests and using whistles, the
cyclists kept intruders at bay.
"You just blow your whistle a lot," said Gerry Oxford, 52, a
systems analyst in Manhattan.
Rosenthal's group reflects the diversity of the city and the marathon
field. There is Marten L. denBoer, 51, an associate provost at Queens
College; Kurt Gustafsson, 41, a caterer; and Neal K. Fujishige, 47, a
dentist. There is an orthopedic surgeon; a hedge-fund manager; the
president of the municipal council in Irvington, N.J.; a chef; a
conductor for New Jersey Transit; a chiropractor and five architects.
Harold E. Varmus, 66, who won a Nobel Prize for medicine in 1989, was
part of last year's contingent, Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal recruited from New York-area cycling clubs. He brought in
members of Fast and Fab, a gay and lesbian cycling club, and the Major
Taylor Iron Riders, whose membership is predominantly African-American.
Rosenthal recruited members of the Kissena Cycle Club of Queens; the
Staten Island Bicycling Association; the New York Cycle Club; and
others.
Rosenthal said his primary purpose was to provide the wheelchair and
handcycle racers with a course free of obstacles, but he also hoped to
"marshal a single voice for cycling considerations," he said, by
cobbling together people who could make unlikely connections.
Rick Jakobson, 44, acknowledged another benefit to volunteering.
"To get to ride through New York City without hitting one red light
is wonderful," he said. "I think only the president gets to do
that."
