Magic

I put words together for a living. When the words are in the right order, a computer will do some pretty interesting things. Lately, I have also played around with picking out words and writing them down here. Perhaps I will evoke emotion or interest in someone I have never met. Most people, when you break their life's work down to the basics, put words together for a living. Those words are frequently the proximate cause of some interesting things. As Mark Twain put it, the difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
