The observation game reminds me of scenes in the TV show "Psych" where an adolescent Shawn Spencer plays the game in a diner with his dad.

Re: The Dictionary of Missing Words...

I love the idea of finding words for things we can't quite explain. I am an art teacher at a small, private school. We have been in the classroom since last August. I must wear a mask the whole day because I teach every student. It was difficult to adjust to at first. Just wearing a mask made me feel like I could not breathe. I've since adjusted to it. My missing word would be describing the first big breath of fresh air you take after you can remove your mask.

Thank you so much for your newsletter. I love it. Have a wonderful day.
