Tuesday, it's "Acting Up" time

Like I need an excuse to act up ... but tonight, Lucie and I will head to church to meet with our small group. We are reading "The Beautiful Fight", and also going to work on some drama exercises. Not sure I can pantomime "you are a seed in the pre-spring ground." A little too Hal Haywood for my taste, but then again, it's not about ME. I want it to be about me, but nobody else cares, and rightfully so.

Another gorgeous day today, hit the 70's and that ain't bad for Feb. 10th. I wish I could play outside all day, my inner child would like that. Actually I need to talk to that young boy, apparently he's been eating way too much, cause he's causing me to expand. (Another minor character fault of mine, accepting blame).

Spoke to Liz, it is wet and drizzly in old London town. Amazing how the weather affects your outlook in life. I've been chipper and upbeat with the sight of daffodils poking out of the ground. I watched a bunch of squirrels correction, a "scurry" or dray of squirrels. When I was in France (flight of ideas, and I turned it back to being all about me)... I had a professor who was teaching us translation of French into English. He spoke with a beautiful English accent, and made two remarks that I clearly remember unto this very day, some 29 years later:

1. The King James Bible is the most beautiful and well written of all the books he had ever read.
2. English is the most descriptive of languages and he used as his example the groupings of animals:
pride of lions
scurry of squirrels
flock of sheep
a plague of locusts
gaggle of geese (if they are on the ground, if in flight then) a skein of geese

So if click on the link above, it will take you to a listing of other animal grouping names. Ok, so some trivia you could have lived without ... I get it, but these are the things I find cool. Lucie is out getting Bekkah from a basketball game at school. It will be interesting next year, when Rachel joins her, if Rachel will be rushing her along to get to all the various activities on her plate. We shall see.
