My physical body's waxings and wanings has my brain confused: I am at once nimble as I take the steeply-inclined Mongolian Steppes two at a time, agile as I wind my way through the deep underbrush of the Novamati Plateau. Back home, ah, back home, I find myself painfully lumbering through the detritus of an aged bachelor's pad.

When John Williams composed the 1975 blockbuster movie Jaws, it needed dramatic music with suspense. How would we the terrified audience know when the man eating killer shark was coming?
Williams wove cadence, interspersed with leitmotif, to let us know when to grip our seat or our boyfriends hand that Jaws was coming!
What unforgetable harmony John Williams evoked for everyone who ever watched and listened.

brain grain insane
Barney snorted at Nanette's assertion that there wasn't a grain of truth in anything he claimed regarding the inability of the brain to withstand continual hammering until its owner should be pronounced insane by the medical authorities.
Hi, Syl and Nancy and rip and Lois and . . .
lilac, lupin, larkspur
LOL @ Nancy.
Good afternoon, Coco.
I DID have to cheat with the word lupin - a pale purple flowering plant of which the Texas Bluebonnet is a member.
Lilac and larkspur are also light purple flowering plants.
