Conversation Starter

Hi Friends,

One of my personal hobbies is collecting words, which I have done for about 15 or so years now. Most come from various online Word Of The Day websites, or just browsing words that begin with a certain letter and contain anywhere from 5 to 12 letters. Some of these go into stories, or are used as story titles.
I read online the other day that single-use is considered by Collins as the word of the year for 2017. It refers to packaging only used once then tossed.
Words leaving the dictionary world include: brabble, which means to argue stubbornly.
Charabancs, which is a large bus used for sight-seeing tours.
Frigorific, which deals with chill or cold. Tell someone you want to not brabble with them.
Tell your Significant Other, "Honey, I feel frigorific."

My birthday is upcoming on Monday, Feb. 25, and I plan to spend number 67 in quiet fashion. I will continue reading a crime thriller by Karin Slaughter titled, Faithless.
Next, a writing acquaintance, Hallie Ephron, is on my to-read list.

Finally, I encourage you to invite a friend to celebrate National Reading Month by securing an EBook copy of my memoir for free from
