And the word is:  crepuscular.  That's right:  crepuscular.  I don't know when you will ever get to use it, but we might, cause we have a cat.  And this word describes him perfectly.  Meet Ranger.  
 
Crepuscular refers to twilight.  Cats are notoriously crepuscular, active at dawn and dusk.  That's our Ranger, active beginning about 3:30 am, sleeping ALL day, then active again in the early evening.  We've seen this behavior for the last 15 years;  I just didn't know there was a word for it.  
 
Well, now I know, and you do too.
 
Learn something new every day!!!
 
HAPPY DECEMBER!!!
