I looked up both found and foundation in the Oxford English Dictionay, a Christmas gift from Bridgett a couple of years ago, and now I am thoroughly confused. It may be the font size (less than 6 point and requiring a magnifying glass), but I think I have probably confused myself by trying too hard. I can now throw "melting metal," as in foundery, and some obsolete meanings into the mix. I did go to "find" and one of the definitions said "to come across." That is pretty much what I expect when I refer to finding myself: I will be looking for that other brown shoe in the bottom of the closet one day and there my self will be. I only hope the surprise will be pleasant and not disappointing.
