*abecederian…a word puzzle or cipher that uses the alphabet to guide the text. Often thought (long ago) to have supernatural powers…as in the case of a few of the biblical psalms. See “C for Career” to know why I know this geeky, less-than-useful tidbit.



Cool about the music scholarship. Do you still play? I played piano, but we don’t have one, so it’s been years… Santa got me my first piano in second grade! Even at the time I remember being totally shocked that he actually brought me one…

I’m a word nerd, so I appreciate the abecedarian definition:)

A piccolo? Awesome. I’ve never known anyone who played.
I had a cat named Spot when I was a kid. My dad thought he was so clever for naming a cat Spot. Sadly, I think I get my sense of humor from him…
