Option Se7en

Cafe Writing instructs:

"Give me seven of your favorite words. You don’t have to explain them, but it’s more fun for readers if you do."
  1. Gossamer: The first time I really took notice of this word was in a letter from Dee in 1970. She was describing her view of the mist that lay over her back yard.

  2. Lugubrious: I think I've only used this word twice in my life, but I'm always looking for a good reason to.

  3. Facetious: My mother, the daughter of a literature teacher, used this word frequently, so I was already using it before I got into middle school. I was also made fun of by other kids for my use of "big words". I still don't think this qualifies.

  4. Macabre: As much fun to say as it is to read.

  5. Level: Because it looks exactly like what it means.

  6. Absurd: In my private hours I often refer to my life as the Circus of the Absurd.

  7. Parsimonious: Something I know that I shall never be.

  2. Hi!
    First I have a question for you..WHere do you live excatly??
    And about Wien...If your son just graduated from high school to be a cook, then there's nothing for him to look for in Wien, because here people have 3-year education where day have 1-2 days of actual school (theory) and the rest is practical, they go to a bakery, in this case Konditorei.
    THat is why I decided to go to NY, because there you have a college for that and in Europe I could't find it (which is very strange)!
