Adventuring
Since moving to Texas in 2006, my husband and I have found a new pastime. We call it adventuring, as we venture out into unknown territory to explore the sights in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. It's fun to take a small risk, to dare to go somewhere new, and to do something different, even if it means you take the wrong road, you find yourself in the middle of a downpour or, worse yet, a traffic jam!
In a similar way, launching this website – and this blog – is
also an adventure. It's exciting to think about where we might go and what
types of journeys might lie ahead.
I plan to take lots of "side trips" in my blog,
covering topics as varied as commonly misused words and verb agreement issues
to observations on life in general. I hope you will also post comments and ask questions
– about writing, word usage, and grammar – or anything else related to the world of words. If you are struggling with your own
word journey, tell me what's on your mind. I may be able to help. If you are
like me and mistakes in signage or a newspaper headline stick out like a sore
thumb, let me know what you have seen. We'll start our own version of Jay
Leno's "Headlines."
Sometimes I may just post a photo or favorite quote, or share my muses about life in our changing world. I may tell you about my latest travel adventure, or my latest Word Journey project. Every day is an adventure, and "the longest word journey begins with a single word." So let's take the journey together. Let's go adventuring!
