Good point Chuck!

To Career or Careen, is there a question?

According to the Webster's Third New International Dictionary:

To careen is to, "cause to lean over on one side...to heel over (as in a boat)."

To career is to, "to go down a path, or to drive, or to run at top speed,
especially in a headlong or reckless manner."     "...sightseers had gathered in
clumps to watch the cars careering through the streets."  James Joyce

Marc

Careering and careening through my PROFESSION as a Technical Writer.

Thought for the day:

"You can't be lost if you don't care where you're going.  If you don't care
where you're going, any road will get you there."
