Fried? Yes, my brain is fried. Not from the heat, my Goodness, we are having beautiful weather. Fried from 72 years of work. I need to give those cerebral neurons a rest. Think of nothing for a while. Would that I could. I suppose, it's not possible.
Here is something to gnaw on for today. I saw the Shakespeare play "The Merry Wives of Windsor" on Wednesday evening. It's not the best of William's work but still a joy. From it, come the following phrases which you may have used or heard.
"Better three hours too soon, than a minute too late."
"...the world's mine oyster..."
"As good luck would have it,..."
"...what the dickens..."
"This is the short and long of it,..."
Shakespeare penned many a line or phrase or word usage that we use today. His work has had a great influence on our language. His work is a blessing.
