The word of the day* for February 24, 2007 is “indecisive” — adjective 1 : not decisive : INCONCLUSIVE <an indecisive battle>. 2 : marked by or prone to indecision : IRRESOLUTE <an indecisive state of mind>. 3 : not clearly marked out : INDEFINITE.
The sky is a beautiful deep blue—very welcome after last night’s thunder-boomy. Lloyd said that the especially loud crack was a lightning strike in the middle of the street that skittered off down the puddles in the gutters.
They are predicting 1-3” of snow here this evening, so in spite of the gorgeous day outside, Lloyd can’t decide whether he wants to wash his car or go to the movies. I’m voting for both, but we’ll see what happens.
The quote† for today is from Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883), Russian author. Narrator, “Andrei Kolosov,” (1852):
The word “tomorrow” was invented for indecisive people and for children.
