How's this?

There's still a band along the bottom (which might actually just be the snow - it wasn't flat and part of the coloring might just be picking up on the variations in the level of the snow?) and I see a band on the right of the frame as well. This camera vignettes a bit, too.

Crap, I'm totally procrastinating. I have to go brave the roads now...
looks better than mine.

Hey, that's not bad. The thing that's throwing me is that it seems off level, though the tree is straight so it's probably an illusion caused by the angle and the slope. Maybe a bit of perspective correction.

As did it me just reading it, considering the work I have to start doing again soon!

:BangHead:

Seriously, though, if y'all really do have any oddball language questions, let me know! I have been wanting to fire up my blog again this year, and I also want to start preparing for the section of Intro to Linguistics that I'll hopefully be teaching this Fall, so the ideas for blog posts as well as the practice for teaching would be really helpful to me!

THAT took me a minute. :laugh2:
 
Took me a minute, too, until I remembered that my brother-in-law always asks me how the Linguini business is doing. He's a pediatrician, so in return, I usually ask how people's feet are doing (podiatry, of course ;) )
 
Oh, I do have a question that you might enjoy. I have to remember the exact word/statement. It will come to me soon.

And I remembered you telling us that!
 
Wow, someone's paying attention to me! I'm a teacher, I'm not used to that ;)

Okay, here's my last version. What do we think of the color now?

Here Leonore. The little mess I started with "unthaw". And then the various riffs off that: flammable/inflammable, slow up/slowdown, slim chance/fat chance. Courtesy of your fellow inmates (Otherprof, Sharon, Gary, Ken). I think Designer was on the verge of burbing up another example, but apparently it didn't get out. I'm sure it will come, once he has a bit of time to ruminate.
 
My favorite word is "zygodactyl."

I'll get cracking on those :)

Had to look that one up. So how many times a day do YOU drop that word into everyday conversation?
