On Limerence

I get a kick when I can learn new vocabulary words in the most unusual of sources.

I read the comics religiously. Not all of them, mind you as I generally avoid the boring serialized ones like Mary Worth and Prince Valiant and what not. The Houston Chronicle has a fairly stellar line-up, boasting a full four pages of print devoted to the funnies. I've heard that people who read the comics live longer than people who don't, so I'm prepping to live to a ripe old age...

In yesterday's paper, Funky Winkerbean's Tom Batiuk introduced me (and I'm sure many other educated people) to an expression with which I was completely unfamiliar, but that I really like. (Apparently it's a rather obscure word, as MS Word doesn't even recognize it.)

Check it out....

I love learning new things!
