Fitchy
3.4.2k7

Some time ago I subscribed to the Word-of-the-day RSS feed from dictionary.com. It started with a clunk, as the words were criminally easy (bucolic, sycophant, conflagration, malapropism), but soon coughed up some of interest (appurtenance, empyrean, coterminous). I set to using each in a sentence, speaking the sentence to no one but myself. I amuse myself like this.
For yuks, I subscribed to another RSS feed from dictionary.com, the Spanish-word-of-the-day, thinking that my miniscule Spanish lexicon could use some new words. Think again! The words on that feed were unbelieveably easy - even for gringos. Lunes (Monday). Gato (Cat). Ahora (Now). And the killer Spanish-word-of-the-day: DOS. Two. That was the word of the day. For real. I fired the stupid feed.

Tonight - The Knockout SF.

Here's tonight's: Find the Reference!

Bingo tonight, yo. I'll be winging it to the desert for some Little Bears games. Go Cubs!

bye-ee!
