WORD OF THE DAY
Horologist • \huh-RAWL-uh-jist\ • Noun – 1: a person skilled
in the practice or theory of horology 2: a maker of clocks or watches
“Tic-toc, look at my clocks,” announced the wizened
horologist to his assembled guests. Albert jumped a foot when they all started
to chime at once. “Golly,” he thought. “This just like the ‘Time’ track on ‘Pink
Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon!’”
