Word For the Day

felicitate verb
Pronunciation: 'fi-lis-a-tate

Latin felicitatus Date: 1605

1. : to make happy


felicitious: adjective, very well suited or expressed

felicity: noun;  the quality or state of being happy

felicific: adjective; causing or intending to cause happiness


Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

 

The Democrat fiasco in Minnesota at the Wellstone Memorial has been dissected and commented upon ad infinitum by various and sundry pundits and talking heads, but one of the most touching and felicitous is the piece today by Peggy Noonan. As is her wont, she takes it to the deep gut, personal level, a level upon which all can relate. Here she writes in the voice of Paul Wellstone, from the great beyond.

Let me tell you, when I watched the memorial and how you acted, I wasn't alone. Jack Kennedy was here, and you're not going to like this, but he said what he said the day Nixon had his meltdown in '62. He looked at you and said, "No class."

John Adams is here too. He turned away from you in disgust. "Faction!" is what he said. It was no compliment .

I got goosebumps all over me. That's what I call team effort on both teams' parts.

What a great story!

You're a real stickler for the details, huh?
OK, it was a "scramble"; my team finished 3rd.
However, I did win the "Closest to the Pin" contest, for which I was awarded a gift certificate. (Tee shot was 18" from the hole on a par 3).

Is there anything else???? (He said with that familiar perturbed intonation....)

I had to go look at it.....
It's for $100 at a local auto repair shop (very reputable).
It will be a very useful little prize. 8-)
If you DO think of anything else.... I'll get back to you tomorrow......IF that is satisfactory, of course.

Oh dear, I knew they were telling their parents it was choir practice, but somehow, I think hmmming in the Janitor's Closet is not what the parental units were thinking! ;-)

Nice job knocking by your alma mater beating Virgina Tech. By why, why, why did Syracuse win....

Go Browns beat the Stillers. Hey hobbes, don't worry spring training will be here before you know it.
