delight in words


Have always loved words and enjoy a well-crafted sentence.  Found one last night in the AFAR magazine describing a hotel:  'it was like a Four Seasons, minus three of them.'

  2. Ooh, THAT was not a nice review.

    Today's quote of the day:

    A man can spend his whole existence never learning the simple lesson that he has only one life and that if he fails to do what he wants with it, nobody else really cares.
