   Well, I don’t seem to have been released from   
   my low/working years yet.   
      
   Today (September 29) is Michaelmas (St. Michael’s Day)   
   and also the related National Poisoned Blackberries Day,   
   which is related to a tale of the devil spitting on blackberries   
   after his fall into a bramble patch after Archangel Michael   
   expelled him from heaven. And of course my naked thorn   
   hill climb overnight Sept. 5/6, 1991 was over thick bramble vines   
   up a steep hill. Also my Ph.D. supervisor’s name is Michael,   
   and he, like many in Europe, celebrates his name day. But   
   I don’t think my minor deity Valakhilya is Archangel Michael,   
   but it could be.
