You know, when I thought of this title it was because
"sow" is a homophone:
so ... where do we go from here ...
sew ... stitch something together ...
and the planting idea ...
and then I found myself saddled with ... a pig!
English is terrible and wonderful. ...
So, even though I like pigs, I'm rather anti-pig on this
one. However, what you bring to this enlarges and
extends anything good I have written into the rest of
the world, and if you in your wisdom and experience
want to bring pigs ... I'll trust you on that.
