TUESDAY, APRIL 8: BEAUTIFUL INLAW

(BEAU PRESENT)

Select a name from one of your newspaper articles, famous or

not. Compose a poem using only words that can be made from

the letters in that person’s name. For example, if you selected

“John Travolta,” you may only use words that can be made from

the letters A, J, H, L, N, O, R, T and V.

The use of web-based tools is highly encouraged to help uncover

different words that can be made from your letters of choice.

One tool you might consider is the Scrabble Word Finder

(http://www.scrabblefinder.com/).

PARIS WORSHIP

When you learned we were going to Europe the first time and every time actually,  I remember how hushed your voice became, but when you spoke it was with reverence; it was obvious how really thrilled you were for us.  I can still hear you breathing out "Paris" making it a holy sound and there was even more veneration in your voice when you heard Rome was on the agenda...I recall thinking it felt like you'd given us a benediction.
