Goes to show how uppity I can be about language,  I read incipient and not
only was I convinced it was spelled wrong but I was also sure that he had
not used it correctly in the sentence.   Here I am, looking it up in the
dictionary so I can tease him about it and not only is it spelled correctly
but John has also used it correctly in the sentence!  Ack,  I'm just gonna
go crawl back under my rock.  No one ever responds to my posts anyway, I
must not use the right subject tags <gulp> <whine> <whimper>

And I don't have any news to report about my iris beds or seeds or
anything!!  <cry cry cry>
