Word of the Day for Monday January 13, 2003

   sedulous \SEJ-uh-luhs\, adjective:
   1. Diligent in application or pursuit; steadily industrious.
   2.   Characterized   by   or   accomplished   with   care  and
   perseverance.

     He  did  not  attain  this  distinction  by accident but by
     sedulous study from the cradle forward.
     --Alexander  Cockburn  and Jeffrey St. Clair, [1]Al Gore: A
     User's Manual

     This writing is clearly the product of sedulous art, but it
     has  the  flame of spontaneity and the grit of independence
     both as to mode and spirit.
     --"The  Wonder  and  Wackiness  of Man," [2]New York Times,
     January 17, 1954

     And  so  he  reminded  the  legion  that,  even  though his
     veneration  of  his  country's  flag may not have inhibited
     sedulous  avoidance  of the inconveniences of serving under
     it,  he  is  a  patriot  so wholehearted that he signed the
     Arkansas law that forbids flag-burning.
     --Murray   Kempton,   "Signs   of   Defeat  In  the  Wind,"
     [3]Newsday, August 30, 1992
     _________________________________________________________

   Sedulous  is  from  Latin sedulus, "busy, diligent," from se-,
   "apart, without" + dolus, "guile, trickery."

Marge, please, old people don't need companionship. They need to be
isolated and studied, so it can be determined what nutrients they have
that might be extracted for our personal use.
