As a kid, we hiked a lot in the hills and mountains of New England. I remember my dad pointing out lichen on the huge granite boulders that we would pass along the way. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why he was liking all the rocks. Evidently, I was never the sharpest tool in the shed.
The end result is that now I am liking lichen. What a cool name. Lichen. It's just fun to say. What words do you think are fun to say?
