In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of word for the day. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
osculate \ohs*cue*late\, verb:
osculated, osculates, osculating; transitive, intransitive verb
osculation; noun
deosculate, deosculation; (fondly)
exosculate, exosculation; (vigorously)
1. To kiss..
2. Mathematics: To have three or more points coincident with.
3. To come together; contact.
A Plain Old Kiss
Some people need a peck or two;
For others a simple smooch will do;
Too many, a graze will stimulate;
A few may want to osculate.
And then, there are those who need a smack,
For flowery words they have a knack.
But all I want from you is bliss,
Which you can give me with a plain, old kiss!
- Arr. Ara John Movsesian Etymology [Latin scul r , scul t-, from sculum, kiss, diminutive of s, mouth. See s- in Indo-European Roots.]

Steve Goodman is an all time favorite of mine, sadly, few people know of his great music, he died much too young...
As for music, I'm listening to Kmher violin while drinking an Angkor beer in a bar called "Dead Fish Tower" in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
I love the internet!

Gotcha...
I still like DAC. A girlfriend from work got to see him in concert about two weeks ago. Her hubby won tickets. I was jealous.
To: Central Scrutiniser
Have you ever heard Steve's full version of the song the way he did it?
