AHA ! Alan Alexander ! I knew him only as A.A. when a bunch of 20-somethings used to read Winnie Ther Pooh. ( Don't you know what 'Ther" means, asked Christopher Robin ?" )

Thanks for opening a new door to a precious old place.

And the 4th rate mind votes for Nancy Pelosi.

As it is written:

" As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he..."

 Sovereignty of mind is the sine qua non of a Sovereign life.

I think, therefore I am.  If I don't think, I am naught... ;-)
