Yes....I have been reading his work....I always look up new words that I come across....
Nerdy as this sounds....every time I open the dictionary I feel a great deal of excitement....it feels sort of like I'm a word explorer or something. 

I guess living in the country makes you get excited about small things...I don't know.

I prefer posting in voice forum.....because I don't know how to expand the length capacity of my sound recordings.  But I did feel that I should put a better sample on this board....my others were done before I got a microphone. They sound like they
are coming from the jipijapa....which is a plant....btw.

I like saying it...... Same with moo goo gai pan....

Boy.....I better get off of this and get something done today....so far I have just been playing with words.

Oh....I was in Little Rock this week....for a conference....I almost bought a Billy Collins collection....I guess it was his new one....too expensive!!  It had a Poet Laureate price tag.

Have a good day Susan.
