Lexember 13 (2024)

Every day, I try to make this my little introductory paragraph stand out from the grey mass of text, to put in some pizzazz, to add a little luxury to Lexember, so that it would entice you the reader to tarry a while and admire my cleverness. But unfortunately, sometimes my purple prose palls, my scintillating wit fizzles, in plain language my effort falls flat. Fortunately though, it’s ConWorkShop to the rescue, as today’s theme is Things that are flat.
