hi all i subscribe to AWAD = a word a day e-mail service [highly recommended] [duh! - why didn't i put it in the "links" pages?] [i'll do that next] one of the meanings for "skein" is: >2. A flock of geese or similar birds in flight. >[Middle English skeine, from Old French escaigne.] which i thought was interesting enough but then the awad editor noted: >(When not in flight, it is a gaggle of geese. -Anu) and my mind started drifting to pseudo-geese and flying pigs... janet janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada a new voice http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/ [log in to unmask]
