Yesterday afternoon I was sitting at the library with one of my students in Los Angeles. Well to be precise, he was sitting there and I was late, but I was walking across the room as fast as my two legs could take me. When I finally reached him, he whispered something I couldn’t hear [...]

Vagistat! Dun-dun-duhhn…

Word of the Day
Logorrhea \law-guh-REE-uh\, noun: 1. Pathologically incoherent, repetitious speech. 2. Incessant or compulsive talkativeness; wearisome volubility.
