Read today that Griffonage means bad or scrawled handwriting. Of course you all knew this already, didn't you?

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present

Love the etymology - it actually means "claw-age" :lticaptd:, which is perfect.

That's an excellent addition to my vocabulary, thanks, @nigelg!  And yes, @LizEF, the etymology makes it even better.  I think maybe Quin and Makhabesh need to meet a griffon somewhere. :)

:lol:  Or maybe someone needs to comment on the quality of Makhabesh's paw-writing!
