Ok, ok! Fine, I'll come out of the Karen closet, too!

There, now. Feel better?



Karen

P.S. As for the etymology of the name, it is a Teutonic variant of 'Catherine' and means 'pure. (Hey, no laughing!) Also linked to the Greek root for the word "cathartic". Then, of course we have the Cathars, cathexis and catheter, but now I'm getting distinctly un-romantic, so I'll stop there. Or perhaps it's just that LC is essentially a cathabolic process? **ducks and runs**
