Happy Happy Happy

What a day this has been,
What a rare mood I'm in,
Why, it's fabulous having, it's fabulous having
Eight hours of West Wing
Two hours in the morning,
Six hours in the evening
It's fabulous having,
It's almost like being
A KING!

I'm so glad you had a good day! I have not, 'nuff said. I'd love a word for the day! Please, intrigue me. >>>Gi'me somp'in go'ud<<<

Should I slip a nickle in the jar for every new word you teach me??? I will: What's your charity???

Sweets, if I thought anything I had to say would render more pellucid any posting on this board, I certainly would. Regrettably, that probably is not the case. Sorry you had a bad day; me, I'm winging my way west.

Word of the Day

I'll volunteer to be Hugh's favorite charity. And I'll even throw in a new word every now and then. How's that?

Word of the Day for Monday August 2, 2004:

fructuous \FRUHK-choo-uhs\, adjective:

Fruitful; productive.

It had by now reached much beyond even that status to appear in our minds as a place sentient, actively helping these once forlorn and homeless sailors, presenting us with fructuous soil to grow our food, bountifully adding its own edible offerings, its waters supplying us with an abundance of fish.
--William Brinkley, Last Ship

Theory does not provide us worthy marching orders for a fructuous future, for theory in itself tells us nothing about how and when it is applicable.
--Sheila McNamee and Kenneth J. Gergen, Relational Responsibility

Somehow, PAW, I just can't picture myself telling some 6'2" Amarillo cowboy with five kids that he's "fructuous." Would it be okay if I just stuck with something like, "You're one helluva stud, guy!" Or maybe, "You da man!" I've got a feeling the response to "fructuous" would be downright fractious.

Hugh, I had that same thrill over having the Soprano's entire collection on DVD to watch before this last season started. But, gosh darn it all, I did not think to write a poem. I'll have to see if I can recapture the moment and get that into my memoirs.

Perhaps it is time to begin the "NotaryRotary's First Annual Collection of Prose and Poetry."

Actually, though I lay claim to being the world's second greatest living country & western lyricist (I didn't want to appear immodest by claiming to be the greatest), I am not the author of that fragment. Alan Jay Lerner, lyricist for the Broadway musical "Brigadoon," my favorite musical, was.

However, I do claim authorship of those two as-yet-undiscovered C&W hits destined for immortality, "The Hallelujeh Chorus Girl" and "Please Don't Flush the Toilet While I'm in the Shower, Dear." Perhaps one day I'll share those with you. You don't happen to know Garth Brooks, do you?

Okay, you ask for it, you get it. Boys, boys, boys, this is not a fight for my affection. I'm only here to learn and share. Thanks for all the input, let's hope others have learned, as I have.

P.S. Paul, what's your charity, I'll be glad to start a jar for you too.

I don't care what she says, PAW. Dawn. Out behind the library. Dictionaries at 30 paces.

Sorry to inflict so much on you. Once or twice a month, I evaluate the essays in teacher certification exams and college entrance exams for an Austin company. This is one of those periods, and I'm only working about six hours a day, so I have some time on my hands. You pay for that.
