A snippet....
Me: (trying to jumble and mumble my way through how I feel)
T: (says something about a logjam)
Me: Yes! A logjam, that's exactly the right word. I come in here and have all of the words and can't get to the right one, than you pull out the exactly right word. This all feels like a logjam.
(pause)
Me: Logjams are dangerous. (meaning literal logjams--I grew up in logging country)
T (who knows that): Yes. They are.
