Someone remarked recently that I had a misspelling or two here in my blog. Who spellchecks blogs? I need an editor or a personal assistant. Any takers? A friend (Layni) and I saw Will Farrell’s latest movie, “Kicking and Screaming.” Speaking of movies, we all know that movie extras appear to be engaged in conversation as they cross in the background. Problem: what if you, as an extra, run out of things to talk about? That’s where “watermelon and cantaloupe” comes into play. They say that when people speak that phrase, from a distance, it appears as if they are conversing in a regular sort of way. Personally, I’d easily tire of those common fruits and would branch out into others– say legumes or exotic fruit. How about Pomegranate and Papaya? or Cucumber and Carambola (Star Fruit). How’s Cumquats and Tangelos? Tangelo is a funny sounding word. Here are some more funny words: Caboodle. Humdinger. Whippersnapper. Skedaddle. Nincompoop. Lollygag.
I’m going rock climbing today with Mike and Trevor. We’ll probably go up little cottonwood canyon. A good time will be had by all, particularly if this beautiful weather holds up. I’ll let you (my legions of fans) know how it goes.
