FLARE MANIA
Sending Up a Flare
I’m still here!
Hello Wordle!
Yes, I’m still here. I know I’ve been away for a few days, but with the end of the quarter and grades and such, my time available for writing was shortened.
But, thank you for your concern and for asking me to send up a FLARE.
Seriously though, what the hell was up with ARDOR and then MANIA. Dammit, those were both difficult as hell. FLARE I took in three, but the previous two too all six guesses.
So, do I have anything to say about FLARE? It’s something we send up when we’re distressed, but also we have FLARE ups of anger when we’re stressed. Allergy FLARE ups cause conges-tion, and if you’re having a FLARE up of anything more personal, I suggest you keep it to yourself. Also, if you were a movie watcher at the turn of the century, you remember pieces of FLAIR from Office Space. And if you don’t, then you should go watch it.
And how’s that for a segue from hemorrhoids to a beloved movie from 1999 with a sub-plot about a stapler.
And so, FLARE on fellow Wordlers, with all the MANIA you can muster and bask in the ARDOR of our beloved daily word puzzle, and thank you for reading my daily missives, or sometimes missing missives.
