Another in my continuing silliness of making up definitions for the random letters for the online security check to make sure that you’re a human being (as opposed to what, I want to ask), aka captcha.
The definition possibilities are:
1. A lamb in the blocks, race position fixed
2. A fine sewing needle – or –
3. A straw hat
The answer?Lamset
Monday we gather, we friends of Stu Hammel, to bid him the final farewell in this thing we call a funeral. It has been an incredibly sad week. But for these few hours, there’s been a respite – the calm in the eye of the storm . . . the place where family and friends sit and actually laugh, allowing themselves to wander from the focus on the sadness . . . forgetting for an instant . . . looking away from and towards . . . away from the pain and towards the things of life – the mundane as well as the wonderful.
There have been times in my life when I have cursed my ‘waste’ of time. But I see things differently now . . . now I think it’s not possible to waste time . . . rather, I think we simply live . . . for however long it is allotted to us, we live . . . whether ridiculously or sublimely, we live.
That is how it should be.

My own favorite definition for the made-up word lamset is a straw hat, although it would be #1, a lamb in the blocks, race position fixed, if I ever thought I could get a lamb to pose for the picture.
