The Last WORD (or two) Puts -30- on Season 10

Some guy named "Anonymous" (who seems to have said and written quite a lot) once said, allegedly, "A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking." That's the place where the WORD finds itself today.

So as the 113th graduating class of Utah State University streams for the doors (and the faculty scrape themselves off their classroom floors), the WORD and I join the flocks of hopeful summer folk. "The point of good writing is knowing when to stop," said writer L.M.
Montgomery. I'm stopping, and commit myself -- and you all -- to whatever gentle summery muses are out there.

The WORD will escape, as usual, and afflict the unsuspecting once again in August. Until then, summer well, friends.
