@shirokuro The word I was looking for was "Nelson"!

Foiled again!

[Daniel]

And there's a rule about not using proper nouns? That's not fun. A word is a word.

I meant "night" not "dark"...

@shirokuro Great minds! We must have posted at the same time.

[ShiroKuro]

@bernard I would have missed it if you hadn't pointed that out!

Good one, @andyd

Very Chicago answer, @rontuner

@jon-nyc - too funny that you posted de Blasio.

I meant to post this a long time ago. The guy on the right is obviously de Blasio. The guy on the left is someone I met in Rome when we were traveling to Italy with our respective moms.

Here is Peter, age 16, in the Vatican Gardens in 1977:

Peter is a pulmonologist working in NYC. I always meant to ask @jon-nyc if he has ever met him.

[jon-nyc]

I haven’t met him but I’m sure we know some of the same people. I’ve recently gotten to know the chief of medicine at his institution since she’s the current head of the American Thoracic Society and I’m on their finance committee.

[jon-nyc]

@rontuner I know who’s been watching Finding Nemo with his grandson….

[Bernard]

Um... are we allowing multiple-word responses?

[jon-nyc]

hauteur-> haughty Same root word

[Bernard]

Rain ... the 1932 film with Joan Crawford.

Sorry Doug I couldn’t help myself.

I would be annoyed if that was also the respose that came to my mind first…
