An old friend I've always admired contacted me via Facebook. He's a brilliant writer and today, has about 30 advanced degrees and a Nobel Prize. Well, maybe not. But I prefer those I admire to be bumped up a bit.
He wrote to me today to let me know he's been reading the blog and shared his thoughts about my writing.
Meg, I've been reading your blog. I enjoy the levity and the aplomb you demonstrate in your writing. By the way, I've been trying to work the word "aplomb" into my conversations and writing, but the social "sciences" usually do not warrant its use. I hope all is well.
I couldn't wait to respond, thank him for his thoughts and engage in a little "writer to writer" chat.
After I looked up those words he used.
