the L word

today i OVERHEARD:
"there should be a word between LIKE and LOVE" 
and there should be, right? i mean... certain situations definitely call for such a word.

anyway- after not very much time it occurred to me that there are probably SEVERAL words between LIKE and LOVE. perhaps hundreds.
yup.
hundreds.
so....
using The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th edition as my sole resource i'm going to install all of the words that are literally between LIKE and LOVE for the pushdot show.  Not sure how, but i really want to see it. 

coincidentally, LINDSAY falls between LIKE and LOVE. 
how appropriate.

I think most languages have quite a few versions of the word love, which makes sense because I love my family and I love dutch apple pie and I love the girl who plays Thirteen on "House," but not all in the same way. Kinda like how Eskimos have like different 200 words for snow.

Also I like your idea: everything between like and love. Run with it.

i am running.

i am out of breath.

200 words for snow? that seems like overkill.

i don't mind overkill though.


THAAANKS, btw.
