As a Braves fan, I will add this immortal rhyme: "Spahn and Sain and pray
for rain." This would have haunted Twain (to continue the rhyme)--perhaps
more than "Punch, Brothers, Punch." Braves fans know all about being
haunted.
A good Mark Twain Circle session this morning at MLA on Twain and Politics
(other than the first paper, which was an egregious waste of time). Another
session on Sunday morning.
