Delinquent

Yes, I've been delinquent in mentioning, last Sunday it was, the anniversary of the death of Gilbert Chesterton. It was 1936, which means it was [takes out pocket calculator] 73 years ago. My mother was born in February of 1936, she and GKC were alive on this planet for a short while together, and that thought brings me a step closer to Gilbert, whom I believe I would have loved as a dear friend, had we ever met.
