Word of the Day"I was standing on one leg shucking oysters when the problems began. If I had not been a scientist, conscious of the human propensity to see patterns where they do not exist, I might have concluded that I was being punished by some deity for the sin of pride."
pro·pen·si·ty / prəˈpensədē / noun = an inclination or natural tendency to behave in a particular way. Example: "a propensity for violence."Confession: I, for one, have a propensity for using words like that. LOL. I wonder if my readers agree more with Elza? or with me?
Now I'm thinking of reading the whole series (of three). I remember seeing the first book, but somehow I never quite got around to it.

I loved the first book but haven't made it any further into the series yet. But I do have a propensity to do that with series!
Hi there Bonnie! I love this post! You should do this more often. From now on, I am going to send all "difficult" words to you for a better perspective.
Thanks so much for the shout out. Much appreciated!
All three books in The Don Tillman series are worth the read and you will find some lovely, worth discussing, words in there.
I also loved your post yesterday on Leaving Time. I've lost twin boys at 22 weeks 2 years ago and yes, my grief was as big as an elephant. And that book just brought so much comfort.
Here's my review Leaving Time
Hope you will have a wonderful weekend and I will be visiting you more often!
Elza, you say I should do this more often, but I talk about words regularly already. I'm a word person from way-way back. Take a look at the posts this brings up by clicking on the label "words," and enjoy:
