ORIGIN early 18th cent.: from Latin moribundus, from mori ‘to die.’

Yup! That definition seems to fit. I had hopes for Glanville Mediation Services, but perhaps not the drive needed to make it happen. I'm back volunteering for the Youth Justice Committee at West Scarborough, now that the Adult Justice Committee program has been put to rest. So yes, still keeping my hand in, but no incentive to give this the time and effort it requires. Maybe this will turn into a retirement project, but for now, teaching college ESL classes is what pays the bills. That reminds me- I have to prepare for Monday's classes now.
