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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Partly that. Also, the eyes. I've become very much an "eye man" (as opposed to a "leg man", etc.) in my old age.
Volunteering in the art room is finally paying off. ;)
"Volunteering"? Is that a pun, re the Vols? Man, you are REALLY on today!!
With the NHL season cancelled, Canadians will no longer have the presal of the Stanley Cup.
