Poll: Favorite folkie?

Mrs. Y and I ordered Chinese delivery for dinner tonight from a place down the street, and when the time came to pick fortunes, my pick read thus: "Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together as they do in you."

Not really a fortune, per se. More of a flattery cookie than anything. My wife's pick, however, was a real fortune.

and I have 3 more to get through in the next 4 1/2 weeks.

Plus, a tale of two cats, no footie(soccer) content, tax schadenfreude and less in the skimpy diary designed to keep the diary page moving.
