annus mirabilis (AN-uhs mi-RAB-uh-lis) noun, plural anni mirabiles (AN-i
mi-RAB-uh-leez) A remarkable year. [From Latin annus (year) mirabilis (wondrous).] "We suppose it's anti-climactic that consumer sentiment sank like a stone to a two-year low, and Xmas sales were not very cheery. So, all in all, sigh, Y2K wasn't exactly an annus mirabilis." Alan Abelson, Up & Down Wall Street: Unfond Farewell, Barron's (Chicopee, Massachusetts), Jan 1, 2001. This week's theme: Latin terms. ............................................................................ You can't turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again. -Bonnie Prudden, fitness trainer and author (1914- ) Q: What is your privacy policy?
