Gmail - gallivant: Dictionary.com Word of the Day - billobe13@gmail.com

Time is 8hrs sleep in last 24. Life is inundated with words.  Mostly none that I know or ever heard or saw. One word to aptly describe a person is insurmountable. Dr. T will borrow gallivant for a day to see if it stays. Everything in the meaning seems to apply, with some unkowns to everyone but me. Don't forget the alteration from the word gallant as a derivative and not the derivatives that the big banks have used to flummoxed the American public to extract a  pecuniary piece of the American society's soul.  But that has always been the dark side of America's soul that repeatedly occurs in our history.
