“The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets.“   —   Christopher Morley

(Man!  And people say I’m strange!  Just kidding.  Very poetic quote.  And, a bit of a bitch to decode!  Of course, I made it a little more difficult than it really had to be.  I was fairly certain that the first word had to be either THE or ONE, but I was reluctant to take the plunge.  However, even after penciling in the E – yes, I said penciling – I had a hard time getting any traction.  I had strong suspicions about SHOULD, but figuring out the first name was Christopher became the big key.  Good fun!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(A beautiful line from the section on Mothers, in the Book:  Mince Pie, by Christopher Morely.  I’d like to dedicate this quote to my baby sister, who became a grandmother just last week!  Blood-wise, she is actually ahead of me, although I am the proud Grampa of three, via my handsome and talented step-sons.  I’m going to treat you guys to a link to the online-literature page on Morely’s Mothers.  I think you’ll enjoy it.  Thanks, Rebecca!  Be well and do good, friends.  Love and appreciate your moms!)   —   YUR

“When you sell a man a book, you don’t sell him twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue, you sell him a whole new life.”   —   Christopher Morley

(And when you give a friend a book . . .  Hey, ralis95!  I am actually reading your book!  It’s just that I am a very slow reader, and I simply do not budget my time very well.  Sorry, bro.  I AM enjoying it though!  We’ll talk later.)   —   YUR
