Sue, you get the brevity award. I wish I had your discipline. And now I just have to ask: why "sequoia"? And then I have to ask when we're going out for sushi and beer? :)
Sequoia is a cool word because it has exactly one of every vowel and only two consonants--plus the bonus of the letter q (itself a very cool letter). I still remember the moment I discovered the unique letter combination: I was walking through the cool (temp this time) pine-tree canopied courtyard of a dorm complex in scalding Fresno, on the way to meet my secret lover, when I noticed the name of one of the tree-themed dorm names. The fact that the person I was sneaking out to meet is now my wonderful husband likely has some bearing on my love of the word. And, the fact that he didn't laugh at me when I excitedly ran into his room with tales of letter patterns let me know he was a keeper.
You need only name the date and time and I am your sushi date.
Make sushi during the workshop? Possibility?
Nice idea, Greg. I wonder what the potluck committee has planned. Maybe I can fit it into one of the themes.
I chose absolutely as my least favorite word, similar to definitely.
It must be the Mid-west in us.
Hey lets not forget that sequoia is not only a nice name for thematic building complexes but is also a kick ass tree. You truely are a tree lover, Sue. Up for Sushi but must serve local beer.
At least most people spell "absolutely" correctly.
