• MUSINGS™ - "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name." - Ancient Chinese proverb

- My mother was a stickler for correct grammar, and she instilled this trait, for good or ill, in her son. But I blame myself for the condition which causes me to mentally deduct points from someone who writes a reasonably coherent and flattering note to me online, and yet refers to me as a 'drawer,' rather than an "artist," or "illustrator." Of course, this is a relatively trivial thing. Still, I have not studied and labored all my life to be confused with a sliding compartment in a piece of furniture, or to be one "s" away from being labeled as someone's underwear.
And that's tonight's fruit of the loom.
