Visual Description:  . . . and a dollar short.

TONEF  =  OFTEN,  ANUTT  =  TAUNT,  SLIPHO  =  POLISH,  UWOTTI  =  OUTWIT   —   Giving us:  OFTTNOISOWT

Clue/Question:  The runner who was late for the start of the marathon was – – –

Answer:  NOT TOO SWIFT

(Beautiful.  Maybe it was a time zone issue, like with Geno Smith last year!  LOL!  There were no new clue words today, but two of the jumbles are new, for me.  I haven’t seen them use “anutt” or “uwotti” before.  I love “slipho” though.  I think it’s a super jumble.  The answer letter layout got the job done.  Same with the cartoon.  That’s all for today.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

In some families, “please” is described as the magic word.  In our house, however, it was “sorry.”   —   Margaret Laurence

(As is the way it should be!  The word “please” is a very polite word, and we should strive to use it, more often than not.  But, there’s a sense of neediness with the word.  Almost a greediness.  But, the word “sorry”, and more specifically the phrase “I’m sorry” conveys  both compassion and empathy.  The word(s), when said with sincerity, express more than ownership for a mistake, or offense.  They express a form of understanding the pain you have caused, and a kind of seeking of forgiveness.  Both, the giving and receiving of forgiveness, are key elements of our humanity.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
