[[ FELLOWPIAL ]] Oh, Those Fragile Trains of Thought ...

\[\[ FELLOWPIAL \]\] Of Those Tidy Timely Trains of Thought ...OR... The Inconstancies of Pre-caffeinated Brains on Misty Mornings in Southernmost Appalachia

I'm working on a project that requires the categorization of N/PC attributes and titling them for the ToC & Index. Currently, I'm working on a section that addresses social interactions and status within and outside of group memberships.

I'm chugging along with the in-world terminologies, and then stop, as my still sleepy brain spat up the following all across my pretty white page: *Collegial, Professional, Filial, Familial, Fellowpial ... .. .*

And my thought train shot clean off those tidy little train tracks.

It took me a moment or so to realize the way-too-apparent problem, as my brain insisted that the end rhymes meant it was all correct.

I thought y'all - fellow word nerds, all - might enjoy the giggle at my expense, especially when paired with Brer Google's ever-so-helpful suggestion that "***Fellowpial*** *appears to be a misspelling of* ***"fellowship"*** *or refers to an individual named* ***"Pial"*** *who is associated with various fellowship programs*."

And now, off to the kitchen to refill the empty caffeine dripline!. :D
