I liked Stephanie Trigg's post, but she worries too much [haha]: Chaucer's posts have always been somewhat sporadic, but when they arrive, are always hysterical. When did this David Wallace rumor start? It's preposterous. That's all I'll say. Then again, if it *is* him, the David Wallace I met a couple of years ago in Miami at a Medieval Academy meeting must be someone else.Eileen Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756965845120441308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-70643836107228804532007-05-05T14:05:00.000-04:002007-05-05T14:05:00.000-04:00No, no, no.
