BIWEEKLY SCHEDULE (2) FOR THE WEEKS OF OCT. 8 AND 17, 2012

THE EYE-OPENER OF THE BIWEEKLY: I wandered lonely as a cloud/That floats on High o'er Vales and Hills,/When all at Once I saw a Crowd,/A Host, of Golden Daffodils;/Beside the Lake, Beneath the Trees,/Fluttering and Dancing in the Breeze. William Wordsworth
