ideograms
I didn't even think about it and it passed the spelling checker and it was what I thought it was, when I just now looked it up and confirmed it. But for a moment I had great doubt. I thought that "Oh, boy I used a word that I didn't really know and Merriam Westbrook busted me." Not that this would not surprise me, mind you. Just that it may have been a foreshadowing of the fact that the grim reaper date calculator was more accurate than I had imagined. That maybe the most optimistic setting I could find there, short of lying abut my birth date, was not as far away as I might have hoped or been led to expect.

Since the pessimistic setting has me dead already 17 years, and waiting for that Penni to show up here, I was wondering if this was was all becoming a waking dream. If my faculties were shrinking, well yes I know they are, but shrinking at a rate that is a little faster than say a Knicks crowd when they are trailing by 20 in the fourth period.

Well let me tell you I was enormously relieved to see that all was still well in the ideogram department. That it had not in fact been taken over by those idiotgram guys. By golly I'm just going to beat that grim reaper java applet, platform independence and all.
