{Click to enlarge}

It goes without saying that when you see this picture, you immediately come to the conclusion that I have not taken many pictures lately. Well, actually I have, but for special venues (e.g. graduations, parties, etc.). Last night, while shopping for some former students of mine who recently graduated from high school (congrats Lee, Kyle, Whitney, and Tamra!), there was a huge storm which passed through Louisville. Ergo (Latinese), we decided to hang out at B&N, and I stumbled across this minidictionary of Latin. If you are like me, you come across a bunch of Latin phrases in books and articles and you think to yourself, "What the heck are they saying?" So I broke down and spent $6.95 to try to make myself look smart. One of these days I am going to bust out some Latin, and you will think I know what I am talking about (well, maybe). Seriously, you Latin speaking folks, lighten up on us unilingual folks (is unilingual a word?). We butchur English enuf as it is, so kut us some slak, okay?
