Words! I love words.


This fascinates me.  Lots.

Well, that's not any more than a tease.  How about some back story:

That is just so cool.  Personally, I think the story about Edward Kelly making it up and pretending it was angel-language seems pretty believable.  However!  I shall reserve judgement.  I have a terrible urge to be in the room when it is first translated.  I just want to be associated with the project, not actually be the discoverer.  Perhaps. 

I really should have been a linguist.  I really do want to learn a lot of languages.  Most recently, I've been curious about Danish, Tibetan, and something from India, but I can't decide which one. 

I still haven't bought a lottery ticket, and I really could use one.  A winning one, that is.  I want to do some traveling, but haven't the money.  Plus, there are some large and prosperous looking houses with nice yards and mature trees in Josephville, where Grant had his ball game last night. 

Well!

I shall now take myself away to the kitchen to make dinner.
