Zack is my stepson. I met him when he was eight years old. He's now a tall, handsome 19-year-old getting ready to start his second year of college. He's a smart young man, and even though he would deny it, he shares my love of words.
A long time ago, when he was still a young boy, we started playing a game of sorts. When one of us would hear a word that, for whatever reason, sounded interesting or silly or fun to us, we would share it with the other. For example, words like juicy, peruse or overzealous are fun to say. Ointment, booger and punctual are rather ugly sounding words. The lists go on and on.
Zack has reluctantly agreed to be a contributor to my Word Droll blog. He'll provide commentary on the Word of the Week, and he'll give me many, many words to write about, I am sure.
