Our word for today is “medium.” On the surface, it’s a very common, unpretentious, almost banal word. Do not be deceived! It has a depth, that borders on the mystical…… I first thought of “The Medium is the Message.” I’m a great fan of Marshall McLuhan, who was probably the first person to make us […]
Our word for today is “hangover.” It might be more appropriate to write this for New Year’s Day, when celebrants have had too much alcohol to drink the night before. Of course, some have hangovers everyday. So today would be just like any other. Fortunately, it’s been a long time since I’ve suffered a hangover
It was my turn to provide a word for our writing exercise today. Sometimes, it’s not easy to just “come up with a word.” Yes, verbiage clutters my mind all the time, however, when asked to isolate just one word for a writing exercise, I’m often “stuck.” I did, though, ask the cosmos for this

I included this quotation in it – “The foolish are like ripples on water, for whatsoever they do is quickly effaced; But the
Another word for the writing challenge is “fusion” – the joining of two or more things to create a third. I couldn’t help playing with this word, by fusing it with other words, OK, prefixes. Hence, from fusion, we can make – confusion, diffusion, suffusion, effusion, affusion. It’s an interesting way of increasing one’s vocabulary
Another word to write about (about which to write)….I may be catching up, but I may also be losing it!! Adjustments….let me count the ways. How many times in a day, an hour, even a minute, do we make adjustments? Smooth the hair, settle the jacket, sniff, blink….. It’s those unconscious movements or moments that
Inventive is our word for this week or maybe the past two weeks. Life has been getting in the way of writing. I know life should be writing, if you are very serious, but I happen to be serious about a few things, so everything gets done in its own time!! What can I say
