One of the local papers ran an article about the unfortunate commuters from the Glen Echo neighborhood, who commonly got home late because of this, and once were delivered to the wrong side of the Potomac. The opening of the Divine Comedy would have done very well for that route.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-45077969365687226292017-05-01T08:11:55.469+01:002017-05-01T08:11:55.469+01:00How about the opening of the Divine Comedy on a bu...How about the opening of the Divine Comedy on a bus?

My wife looked through the seniors' section of the first yearbook he brought home, and asked, "Who's Homer Simpson?" (Unless it was Bart--I'd have to check.)<br /><br />A couple of times I have seen tee shirts bearing the opening lines of the Iliad in Greek. Once was probably 30 years ago in a Motor Vehicle Administration building somewhere in Montgomery County, Maryland, once was at at the gathering of a running group, about that long ago. I agree that a tee shirt doesn't measure up to a bus.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-25379141530863125772017-04-30T15:20:54.672+01:002017-04-30T15:20:54.672+01:00Ah yes, dear Homer.
