I don't know how good it was, but he did it. On a side note, didn't the whole notion of Chivalry and romantic love come from poets and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales? Men, men, men. So, the question is not why aren't they writing it, it's why don't we give them the props today?Heather Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978965489626420425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367562742361155150.post-27988579729352884022012-04-03T08:45:59.690-05:002012-04-03T08:45:59.690-05:00I didn't know that, Pat!
