The Grid, the Grid Poem, AND the messages are my playground. Provocative posts are good for getting the fingers flying. Good warm-up exercise before taking on your next tile! :)

UWI: You call yourself a grumpy old man? Old??- hardly! Grumpy??? - There was no "Grrr" in that grumpiness. I would say you were umpy. An Umpy Hardly-Old Man.

RUT: No fair calling down the Muse before your prayer! Ok, it's fair enough; I'm just disappointeed I didn't think to do it. And yes, I saw where you started tilting the horizon and I saw how it was soon corrected, so I wondered if a sudden 180 flip would get some upsidedowniess going for awhile or even a 50-50 split between the upper half and the lower half. But the pull of the upsightright is strong.
