Don't shoot, Macca! It's just Pappy on routine patrol. Hee hee.
They say if March comes in like a lamb (which I reckon it more or less did), then it'll go out like a lion. I reckon that means there's still hope fer one good snow.

Well, I don't know, Pappy.... I think they're calling for some possibly strong thunderstorms later today... Wouldn't that still count?
Besides, we've STILL got a chance for AT LEAST one good snow!!!! (I'm dancing!!!)♥♥♥

When Pappy sees a word like today's word o' the day, I hafta wonder if somebody down at the word factory didn't mess up but didn't want to admit it. I ain't sure how it works, but I figger mebbe one o' them definition engineers upstairs came up with a new definition, so he sent it down to the factory floor to get a new word whittled up to go with it.
Down on the floor, the word whittler got the order, set to work, got a good pile o' shavin's goin' an' 'fore long had him a nice freshly whittled word. Trouble is, the work order from upstairs that specified what definition was s'posed to go with it got swept up in the shavin's an' was throwed out. Uh-oh. While he was a-ponderin' what to do, here comes his supervisor.
"Got you a new word there, Roy?"
Roy nodded his head, too momentarily befuddled to speak.
"That's a fancy one! What's the definition?"
Roy hung his head in despair, wonderin' what to do, when suddenly inspiration struck. He thought up a definition he was sure wouldn't conflict with any other word the factory made an' told it to his supervisor.
"That's what it means?" said the super. "Oh well, I'll send it on down to shippin'. Mebbe some writer on Gray's Anatomy can use it."
Anyway, I don't reckon we'll ever know what the original definition was, but here's what Roy the word whittler came up with that time he was ponderin' his navel.
Word of the Day
omphaloskepsis (om-fuh-lo-SKEP-sis) noun
Contemplation of one's navel.
[From Greek omphalos (navel) + skepsis (act of looking, examination). Ultimately from the Indo-European root spek- (to observe) which is also the ancestor of suspect, spectrum, bishop (literally, overseer), despise, espionage, telescope, spectator, and spectacles.]

Pappy! Remember the Marauder's spell!
"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good!"
You gotta say that before you go in the back room omphaloskepsis'n!!!!
That story was the greatest! It's amazin' how you worked in all my favorites! ROY and Gray's! woo hoo!!!!
Had to read it to the youngun's for a bedtime story tonight. Yessiree! Shore did beat that 'tarred' ol' B'rer Rabbit tale........or tail...... hee hee! 
No need to worry... Gray's was a re-run so you won't have to "skip read" tomorrow!
