New Years-ish fall-out… Missed the B’more folks. Missed them real bad. Had mimosas in yrsalls’ honor. /sigh

Content-ish post(s) to come. But for now (since all the cool kids are doing it):



Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence


You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.
