Also I didn't know about Wren Day until a colleague told me all about it -- fascinating.<br /><br />Thanks, too, for your well-wishes. It has been a bracing year, but also an exciting one. Here's hoping for an effulgent future.Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157076523366054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-79477223479333213832009-12-30T10:54:26.247-08:002009-12-30T10:54:26.247-08:00Yikes... our posts for the 26th are tantalizingly ...Yikes... our posts for the 26th are tantalizingly close.<br />Thanks for your great blog, getting to know you a bit in 2009 was a great pleasure.

What strikes me between the eyeballs about this post is Mr. Mead's fearless and utterly natural, in its context, use of the word "unverisimilitudinous." Not many could pull that off with such nonchalance. Congratulations, Mead!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13765688465211717384noreply@blogger.com
