My crossword contained a term "troy ounce" this morning and once again I was scrambling for a definition! I discovered that it was a pharmaceutical measure- who knew! My thoughts turned to how each profession has its unique vocabulary and when reared within those walls, the terms are bread and butter - to an outsider, complete bafflement.
But for that matter - my morning crossword took me to Senegal, Eritrea, Cozumel, Oneonta as well. And I relearned info about Lenya Lotte, Alan Alda, and Ajax! You can well ask, will I retain it all and probably the answer is no! But for the moment my sleep-sated mind was flushed with new words, places, ideas, and images.
What a fabulous way to begin the day!
