Perfect Post for June 2007

I've nominated Ms. Cornelius, whose blog "A Shrewdness of Apes" is one of my favorite daily reads. Her post "The Downside of Love is Loss" is a beautiful tribute.

Thank you, MommaK and Lindsay, for creating this opportunity to share the Literature of the Blogosphere with each other.

A "shrewdness of apes" is a collective noun, of course. Collective nouns are but one of many ways we affirm the fact that we are a whimsical culture and that we love to laugh. Many collective nouns also affirm the fact, so often overlooked, that language is a musical thing, flowing and overflowing with beauty, logic, and fun.

Click on over and read Ms. Cornelius's post "The Downside of Love is Loss." You'll be glad you did.
