a precious problem

Just a few quick lines to note that it is near impossible for me to use the word precious anymore without having Gollum's little voice echo in my head.

Typing up a comment on my trip to the Grand Canyon and actually wrote,
Stopping on a bridge that crossed the Colorado river, I purchased a ring from a Navajo roadside sale that remains precious to me today because of the memories I associate with it.

True, the fact that it's a ring I'm talking about made the need to change precious to special even more dire, but still I'm a bit annoyed by the need. Precious was always such a nice word. I'd like it back please.

Oh, and for what it's worth, it's about three years since I started, but this weekend saw the final transcribing from original journal to web for the Incredible Adventure page, and pictures too. Whoot!
