Reading the Scrabble Dictionary: Week 19

This week will be slightly truncated (meaning less photos and commentary), as I have my final graduate work of the term due, papers to edit, science articles to edit, parents to show around town, and an article to revise for publication (woot). So it's short(er) and sweet(er?) this week. Favorite word was definitely hoick. Sometimes you just gotta hoick.
