The mother of a Spartan king.
In Sparta The Canon 
He didn’t know, King Kleomenis, he didn’t dare—
he just did not know how to tell his mother
a thing like this: that Ptolemy demanded,
to guarantee their treaty, that she too go to Egypt
and be held there as a hostage—
a very humiliating, indecorous thing.
And he would be about to speak yet always hesitate,
would start to tell her yet always stop.
But the magnificent woman understood him
(she had already heard some rumors about it)
and she encouraged him to come out with it clearly.
And she laughed, saying of course she would go,
indeed was happy that in her old age
she could be useful to Sparta still.
As for the humiliation—that didn’t touch her at all.
Of course an upstart like the Lagid
couldn’t possibly comprehend the Spartan spirit;
so his demand could not in fact humiliate
a Royal Lady like herself:
mother of a Spartan king.

Happy Caturday Q sters,
woke up this morning to find white stuff sprinkled on the grass & all over the car. it went from rain, to wet white stuff, to white stuff to frozen on the car. there were flurries all day long, but no real accumulation. wasn't too busy at work today, which was nice after the zoo of this week. got the grocery shopping done afterwards. came home to indulge in a hot epsom salts bath, with a nice glass of wine, to warm up & unwind. made rainbow trout & baked garlic potatoes for dinner with another glass of wine. will probably hit the sack early & must remember to turn the clocks back tonight too.
looking forward to meeting all of you on the 22nd. some i've met at different concerts & some i have seen in pics only. so far every meeting that has been done, i've had to work, but not this time. WooHoo!
a little confused by the dates, born in 1961, died in 1953???
Great Halloween costumes on the kids, Rockie.
Happy 90th Birthday to your Dad, Sparty.
Happy Birthday to your Brother, Rockit! see you in Texas tomorrow.

Good morning folks! It has been a whirlwind few days for me with last minute dinosaur touch ups and a one day back and forth to Ottawa yesterday to check out more university options. Hope everyone had an awesome Halloween-my son did win the Halloween costume at school with a unanimous vote and the entire student body cheering him on, he was on cloud nine.

Good morning, everyone.

That sunshine is deceptive. It's coooold!!!!! Even Lily dog was not in the mood to be outside. Always fun to deal with the time change, the brats don't believe it applies to them. Needless to say, we're up & at em early.
I went hunting for chocolate deals yesterday & the store hadn't marked anything down yet.
On the plus side, I ran into a neighbour & ended up keeping her company while she shopped at a few stores. A bit sore today from overdoing it, but, hey, I had fun so it's all good.
Besides, it's a great excuse to avoid housework. 
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
