JQT says: Okay, Bruce, you caught me in a nostalgic and starry-eyed, quixotic mood today, as my former (and now deceased) spouse, who was unremittingly Irish to the Core, used to love St. Patrick's Day (her succession of maiden names: Kathleen Helen Molly Agnes McCoy McBreen, it goes on!) has placed me into a reminiscing state-of-mind today (apologies around for the length). As a writer, I've probably used today's Wordle Solution on a few occasions, in hyphenated form, when referring to politicians, etc. This word is sometimes of course used in cooking, although I've not 'dipped my oars into that wide oasis' too frequently these days, not since my part-time life-on-the-road in my old camper, "While in Pursuit of Women and Wild Trout" (another of my many yet-to-be-published book titles, so far without the book to go along with it); and yes, this word can be seen in the angling literature from time to time as well. As a term, it also shows up as an adjective for a few types of birds; and while I'm not a serious birder, I am a dedicated 'bird observer' (I'm just listening, in fact, to the recently-very-active Pileated Woodpecker Pair that has inevitably turned one of the trees closest to my apartment into veritable sawdust over the course of about a dozen years, and I'm left to wonder if they will continue to nest in it, as it has already become merely a stump, and one with a vast hole that is so large, I could literally crawl through it! Stay tuned-in during subsequent years, and hopefully I shall continue to update. REF: https://www.audubon.org/news/10-fun-facts-about-pileated-woodpecker Having done many various things in life, a few of these already aforementioned, and having also written about them, I'm starting to believe, is probably a solid prerequisite attribute for doing well in Wordle. As to my actual usage of the particular word in question: I used to allow Google Desktop (which, since about 2011, is sadly no longer supported and pushed as a client-side utility) to run on my previous PC, and it was possible to instantly see if and when a word or term or phrase had even been used or saved. The utility was actually quite scary to observe at first, because it would extract those nouns, verbs, and adjectives from your brain and lay them out for you to see, plain and simple. No doubt that this algorithm still runs, ever-so-silently, on "their" side (the ubiquitous "cloud") of the interface, but I found it very interesting to look at my own use of linguistic terms. In fact, I still keep it running on old laptop with an accurate log of Google Desktop statistics on it, data collected from circa 2008 through about 2019. The utility can still be loaded and used, but it is no longer "pushed" as a client-side utility, and it now performs "up in the cloud" where, on one hand, it can probably better-aggregate the linguistic behavior of a single user (or IP address), rather than have it be spread across multiple devices, some of which may not have it enabled. But it makes the data far less transparent to the user, since you must now opt-in and load the utility. Still, as far as security and vulnerabilities, it remains a real honey-pot or treasure-trove of data, allowing one to "get a peek" into the brain of another, if the data can be swiped or stolen. I once wrote to a security-minded individual that my Google Desktop dataset is probably the second lowest signal-to-noise distillation of my brain; the lowest, and thus most condensed "window into my mind" being my MS Word Exclusion Dictionary, which is a list of what Microsoft would normally show as misspellings, but these can be collected in an Exception or Exclusionary File. For a writer who has used MS Word since perhaps 1984 or 1985, and "carried forward" this valuable list, it contains virtually every person's name and address (that isn't already a word) and acronym, and the ratio of "highly personal" to deadwood is extremely high. As someone who attained a "Q Clearance" at age twenty-one, straight out of college, I pride myself in matters of data security, and these topics have thus always interested me.

Will a photo be forthcoming? And will snacks be provided? That reminds me, and so let's end on a musical theme, of the infamous first half of the first verse of one of those very memorable songs by John Prine: "Back before I was a movie star / Straight off of the farm / I had a picture of another man's wife / Tattooed on my arm . . ."
