blog name

So here's my new blog to go with my new email address to go with my new name. Speaking of names, what's up with my blog name? I put off creating a new blog partly because I had no idea what to call it. My eventual cure to this problem was to go to this wonderful "Three Random Words" generator. It seemed perfect because I thought three words was a nice title length, but I had no idea what those three words should be. My method was to get a new set if there was even one word among the three that I didn't think worked for me. Often, there was more than one word. I thought I'd hit the jackpot when first "skullduggery" came up, and then "badger," but the third word was, "jaycee," which just didn't fit at all. So I continued on my quest. One word that came up that I thought was pretty great was "eurythermic" because of office conditions that greatly lack in the area of constant temperature. If you read my old blog, you may remember a picture of me in my office last winter. And maybe the picture of the snow on the sill directly above the "heat" register. But I digress. The perfect three words had not come up, but I continued requesting new ones. Then it happened. The first word that came up was "boondoggle." Great word, I thought to myself. Great sounding and great looking. However, the first definition didn't really say much to me: a handicraft article of leather or wicker. The second definition was right on, though, it seemed: a trivial, useless, or wasteful activity. It worked so well that I abandoned my original need for three words. Thank you, John Bent.
