Favorite Word:

sensual

I'm connected to the world of the senses and am profoundly moved by almost any kind of weather, certain kinds of music, most kinds of food (a gourmand rather than a gourmet), the touch of nearly anyone's' hand, a warm hug from almost anyone.... I'm attracted to the sight and touch of any female body. "Sexual" and "sensual" are words awash with potential delight, but "sensual" lacks the potential for the inimical subversion of wholesome intention associated with many sexual activities.

Least Favorite Word:

irregardless

For decades this word was considered to be a false form of "regardless." More than four decades ago a college English teacher called me on my use of the word and I never forgot how foolish the experience made me feel.

Favorite Quote:

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with little hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable."

- CS Lewis
