Good Morning, Digital Neighbors! Happy Wednesday ADD Irregulars, WSN Niche’ Contributors & all Curmudgeons. Hello again too all you Friends, Refugees, Early Birds, Later Dayers, Conversants and Lurkers, PHAM & Misfits partying at Phetasy and finally all of you Sippers and Unhypnotized imbibing with Scott.

Time will tell, but I hope we don’t forget anytime soon. Happy Wednesday digital neighbors!

Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV.
