I've been working for way too long trying to format what follows. Blogger doesn't make that easy. They make a lot of things easy, but not that. And now I find, after all, I don't really care to make this my entry. But what? Perhaps some phrase I heard come out of a beautiful mouth as I walked yesterday (or was it the day before?), the mouth of a beautiful girl driving a beautiful car on the brick streets of a beautiful neighborhood?
"I absolutely love that house."
Windows down, music blasting, she sort of had to yell this so that I could not help but turn to the disruption. "Absolutely love." The italics signify the inflection that you all know so well because it is the only way that phrase is delivered. It makes little sense but it is as common as Kleenex. Absolutely beautiful.
What is the antonym for "absolute"? I can't think of it just now. Limited? I love that house within limits?
My mind is drivel. Here. Take this.
