Being a tutor, I’m an academic by nature.  I found the definition of lipogram in my literary terms guide….

Well, New Years Eve is here.  Some people’s holiday displays are off, saying even Yule season is over.

Of course, one will likely look back on a year with some sorrow over failure or missed chances.

Here, we are ending in a cold snap:  our morning reading is -8 Celsius, sunny all day.

Oil is low, America’s economy, seemingly, is bouncing back, and our (Canadian) dollar is weaker (86¢), which is probably good for our sellers. Economically, we may be looking up.

To our topic: a lipogram is a written work in which a selected letter is purposely absent. You’ve already read one: if you look back at the previous four paragraphs (my New Years reflection), you’ll find no “t” was used.

Have fun tonight:)
