For 50 years I have believed that Grenadine was made from cherries. My Dad told me that. I can't believe he lied to me! :( I wonder what other misbeliefs I hold? My entire philosophy of life may be built on very shaky foundations. :( :( :(
Anyone know a good shrink? :(

On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer
Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet never did I breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold.
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes
He star'd at the Pacific - and all his men
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise -
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
-- John Keats
It's a conspiracy - bloody John Keats is in it too! :( :(
