Weird things pop in
my head sometimes when I'm writing these missives. (To be fair, weird things
pop in my head all the time, but to be specific today, and to be relevant to
this posting, they pop in my head while I'm writing). I commented yesterday on
the fact that I had put one set of parentheses inside another, (and for fans of
things grammatical I am sure that was a cardinal sin to commit). But I noticed
while writing that line that the word parentheses seems to be a
combination of the words parent and thesis even though it bears
no relevance to either. Things like that stand out to me. I have some kind of weird
word savantism or something. So I looked up the definition and background of
all three words to see how - if at all - they connected and I thought about
writing a very long post explaining it all here, but then I realised how
catastrophically boring that would be to read, so I shall leave it there and
say 'see you in October'.
See you in October!!!
