  Right. Write. Wright.

  The gifted playwright injured his left hand quite badly in an unfortunate accident; thereafter, he suffered much in his endeavor to write with his right.

  One that I re- learned on yesterday: Chiasm. Looks like chasm to the untrained eye, but means a literary device employed by some Bible writers.

  I'm still working on one for the Aaronic Benediction

  Thanks, Doug Mason.
