In reply to:

Tsuwm, I was not speaking in derogation of your efforts. I can't look anything up in the OED, I can only wait till some kind soul posts an entry.

Mantled, indeed.

"From an elevated point of their march through this region, the travellers caught a beautiful view of the Powder River Mountains away to the north, stretching along the very verge of the horizon, and seeming, from the snow with which they were mantled, to be a chain of small white clouds, connecting sky and earth."

~Washington Irving, "The Adventures of Captain Bonneville, U.S.A., in the Rocky Mountains and the far West".

I will continue to pray for you and Nancy.

From Anu himself: graduand (GRAJ-oo-and) noun.
A student who is about to graduate or receive a degree. (29 August 2000)

NOTE TO SELF: Add Anu to prayer list.


At least I'm in excellent company, Fr. S, and I'll never turn down a prayer, especially from a professional!

I used to play pinochle with Irving Washington but Washington Irving wrote the Adventures.

What an adventure, to meld with Irving Washington.
Oh, if only we could mind-meld with Washington Irving.
