I'M CONTEMPLATING the word "blog" It has such a heavy sound, much like laboriously slogging through a muddy bog, the sloppy earth sucking at your booted feet with every step. Yes, yes, I know it was an offspring of weblog, but I'm just thinking that if there's going to be a new word coined, some consideration should be given to the way the word sounds as it rolls off one's tongue and the mind pictures it creates, and the feeeel of it.

How about the feel of skipping, dancing, trotting, cantering, hopscotching, flitting, flying, soaring...through grass, sand,clover, feathers, flowers, fields, meadows, leas, vales, dales,skies, clouds, heavens. There now, aren't you already just a teeny, tiny bit lighter of heart and more enthused about your life in general?
