Are you taking a vacation this summer (or this season)? Where are you headed and who's going with you?
This winter I hope to have a short 4 day weekend trip to Tasmania if I see a good deal with the airfares. I really felt cheated with the winter in the Blue Mountains last year - only a handful of wintry days. I'll have a much better chance of experiencing winter in Hobart. I'll be going on my own. After this breakup, it will be good to catch up with my family and friends down there.
What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why?
Question submitted by Byrne.
I don't like the word "subpoena". I don't like the way it sounds or looks and it's often used for cruel and unfair legal purposes (not all the time, I admit, but it's still a yucky word).
I like the word "tarn" for a small highland lake. I like the way it sounds, and looks and the memories it evokes of walking in places like the Tarn Shelf and the Walls of Jerusalem in Tasmania.
