Word of the Day
Replete (adjective) — fully supplied with what you need; gorged; satiated; abounding with supplies or sustenance or whatever is necessary (from Middle English, Old French and Latin meaning "to refill")
Word in a Sentence: In the fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods, the fledgling dragon that visits Chariss is replete with food after she stuffs him with chicken pies, cheeses, and other meats.
Your turn! We've gotten back into doing Word of the Day on a regular basis (when Blogger robots don't commandeer the blog for stupidity), but newcomers to Today the Dragon Wins may still be unfamiliar with "the drill" here. At this point in the blog posting, you, as the visitor, get to take today's Word of the Day and use it in a sentence you create from your own imagination. Whether you're a reader or a writer, it's a good way to sharpen your vocabulary skills, keep your brain pumpin' and jumpin', and just do something besides passive reading while visiting a blog. So join in the daily interactive portion of Today the Dragon Wins and leave your jot of creativity in the comment field!

I had lunch today with three good friends of mine from my high school years of 46 years ago. The steak salad I ordered was replete with lots of great fresh, crisp lettuce, a more than adequate serving of chipped steak, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, pepper rings and plenty of french fries too that my two-year-old grandson thoroughly enjoyed.
Oof. I'm turning green. That list is replete with things that make a sick dragon go "urp."
