Galileo was also way too late. But discovery is just that.Too bad he recanted. But, I was pleased.

I'm still baffled by lexicology. But I found this planet and by darrnit I'm gonna' stay here 'til someone really hurts my feelings.

I went from whipper snapper to curmudgeon in a heart beat and it's fun to be somewhere and be a whipper snapper again.

Didja know that an overpass in the hills of Kentucky is a "brin"?
Neither did I until I got lost in the hills of Kentucky.

" Go o'er the brin, turn down inter the holler, then go inta the sun 'till you hit the freeway. 'Cain't miss it"

Well, I found the freeway, but I often wonder what that third instruction would have been, 4 hours earlier;(or later) because when I got to this quagmire of roads and trails, I turned my car inta' the sun.

One who coins new words whilst being distracted with beer and Big Ten Football. I also thought: 'coinactuary', 'coinocolonic', 'coinisist', 'coinicyst', 'coinisism',and coinarchilocustrian. But I booted all those out.
