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.
