I can usually run down a word I'm looking for - finding a word that comes close and eventually I get it. Or I punt and ask my husband or call my daughter. It can drive me nuts, at times.

I can usually run down a word I’m looking for – finding a word that comes close and eventually I get it.

Or I punt and ask my husband or call my daughter.

It can drive me nuts, at times. It’s like being on a scavenger hunt for a word.
