Hello HG, during June 2008, I was in summer school and away from the site. Additionally, I had surgery after school was over. That whole event kept me down for the rest of the year. Sorry I missed Blintzes; however, this morning I searched the site for all Epulaeryu poems and posted a comments. I will be here for another two weeks before summer school starts, then I will be gone again. Thanks for the humor. Great job! ~Joseph
