A lot of people seem to be on the road or about to be on the road including thenewgreen who is in Canada and including me who is in the US for three weeks!! I left home at 4:30 this morning and just arrived at the Southernmost Point of the continent. Stay tuned. Here's the first thing that happened on the plane from Miami. I met a youngish-looking woman - maybe 30s, maybe 28 - no idea yet. She said that she had never been here, but her husband had recently died and she was working through his bucket list. She's planning to head off to the Grand Canyon in a few days. I didn't get any details (yet) and sceptic that I am (Wait!! Isn't that a tank? Checked spelling. I'm ok - septic tanking, sceptic thinking), anyway, sceptic that I am, I don't even know if her story is true -- but it's a moving and interesting story if it is true ... Will keep you posted. Also congrats to _refugee_ If adulting is learning to live in the world, then yes, you are adulting.
That is an awesome story. That there is a movie script waiting to be written. Who wants to write this film with me? I think I'd change it to a mother that fulfills the bucket list of her college aged son. humanodon, let's write it.
Nice! Check your email. Tryouts for team "write a script" are closed. You, steve and I are on it. Let's do it!
Let's do it. No joke. Let's take this to email.
Something happened in the 1910's in American English that made the usage of skeptical become much more common than sceptical. This change never happened in British English. Source:

Just checked that too. 1860, France.Before the 1910-1920's, sceptical was used in both American English and British English more than skeptical.
