This might be the start of a whole new module. Santa Fe is beautiful and the light is gorgeous and there's great art. There are also more than a few odd people. But we'll get to that.
What I learned today?
It's pronounced "ah-saw-EE" berry. Who knew?? All this time, I'd been thinking Acai berry was "a-CAY." I won't say I'd been pronouncing it that way, because I can't vouch that I'd ever said the word out loud. But when the spam subject lines float by in my cursory examinations of quarantine land, my internal reader had the amazing diet solution as a-CAY.
Go figure.
I heard it on the radio. Several times now, the same ad. Finally it clicked through my consciousness. Try ah-saw-EE! Amazing diet blabbedy blah.
You likely don't care. Or, if you did, you already knew. I'm just so amused that within days of moving to Santa Fe, I now know how to correctly pronounce the latest herbal diet fad.
Apropos of nothing, I know.
So, here it is, eve of my 43rd birthday. Cumulus clouds are mounding in billows of navy and white over the paper-doll mountains. The golden light is slanting. I'm pretty sure I saw Georgia O'Keeffe's ghost out dancing with the quail.
Time for a glass of wine on the patio.
