A New Feature!

I've probably mentioned how much of a sci-fi geek my husband can be.  Well, I'm geeky in other ways.  Take etymology for example, the history of words we use on a daily basis.  My eleventh grade teacher Mr. Smith had a passion for etymology and soon enough I did too.  Years later, I visited him and told him how much I enjoyed looking in old dictionaries to find where the word orginated from and its meaning.  He said, "Karen, you and I are the only ones."  So for those of you that want a monthly taste of English class that you were too young to appreciate then, I bring you Karen's Etymological Corner in the sidebar of my blog.  Let me know what you think of it!  And if Mr. Smith is the only one that reads it that's OK by me. :)
