Superlatives

...were on the menu last night. A writer and I chatted about their use in a flurry of email. Make that a slough of email. I have my email programs set to croak like a frog every time someone sends a message and the frog was croaking non-stop. Anyhow, I'm smiling because I just finished Steven Price's Anatomy of Keys, a book more than worthy of superlatives. Price has an extraordinary ear. It's an extraordinary book. I couldn't help but read much of it aloud. Even the cat was impressed. It's hard to impress the cat.

(I was trying to write a I'm-so-happy- I'm-breathless-with-excitement-type superlative comment, but I think it just came off as snippy...)

Ha! If you want to learn how to use superlatives convincingly, just watch me interact with a piece of cake.

I can attest to that last one. Brenda + Cake = True Love. Superlatively.

Don't I know it...

The last time B was in Winnipeg, I thought she had a bad cough...but soon discovered (oh the horror!) that she was barking orders: "Cake! Cake!"
