Sneazling

there's a new word for the day:  SNEAZLING. A good example of sneazling would be how our dog climbs up onto the couch when nobody is around. he knows he's not supposed to be up there depositing fur, so when he hears someone coming, he jumps off the couch and approaches with wagging tail. sneaking and weaseling: sneazling. I was accused of sneazling today when i broke plans to go get new eyeglasses with my girlfriend. we both need them and she has today off, so it would make sense to go, but for me it's one of those close to home days and when she asked me i was only on my first scotch and soda and couldn't bear the idea of leaving the bottle behind for a 2-hour trip. sneazling. more weasel than sneak in this case, but it was enough of a crime for her to say she would punish me with a lecture she has to give at the university of arkansas. i prefer a 45 mintute lecture on COPD, which i have, to shopping for eyeglasses, because i can listen to a lecture drunk and smoking. (it would be illegal for me to smoke in the car because of the kid.) i admit, i cannot see an offramp i am so blind and need glasses bad. right now i rely on a pair of prescription wayfarers with copper lenses. during the day, they're rhe best sunglasses i've ever had, but when i put them on to drive at night, the world darkens, is less tangible, less REAL. when i drive around town at night with my sunglasses, guided by road reflectors, i do not feel in danger, but do suspect that i may be sneazling. i can think of many more sneazlers and it's likely we all sneazle at one time or another. but today i am THE sneazler and my girlfriend is singing a song she made up about me:He's a sneazler, it's true/Sneazling is what he wants to do . . 

cheers, folks.
