CHARIOTS

- A

..from bare, ruined choirs

CHORIST ..I might've sampled some haricots verts with Ben Hur; alas, I'm in the twilight of such day

So weird. Via cognates I had the thought that your last name could be Wainwright. And I thought of cousins. Chariots, close enough for me.

May ?'d JJA above; as in the 'orchids' entry, it refers to James J Angleton, late of CIA, paranoid about moles; reclusive grower of orchids..I don't think he was big on Shakespeare, but I had sonnet 73 on the brain from an earlier word (chorist, maybe)

Yours good also; I don't know why this happens from time to time, but I am shown an entry that looks to be the latest, try to react to it, and find minutes later that I'm a day late & $1 short, so to speak ..sorry ...it may be this machine I use; who knows?

Certainly can't be the geezer using it, now, can it? I'll try again ...take care!

Happens all the time. I respond to a post only to see someone
beat me to it. Or I respond to a post on an email only to see
it was a post about ten posts too late.

Well, I'm certainly no seer. I'd have never figured that one. Dirty work, CIA. That'd make me paranoid. Closest I got was JJ Abrams. Thanks.

You did now didn't ya. Missed that one. Apologies.

But, coincidences of councidences, wasn't there a Wainwright at the BBQ tonight! Not sure what the universe is saying....something to do with meme, semiotics, reconstruction and cognates.

Carry on. No interpretation possible.
