Word of the day

Some of you who have known me a while will remember my website from the old days -- about 1999 until 2001ish. It was sort of like a blog/facebook page, consisting of photos, what I had been up to, music interests, etc. It also featured a "word of the week" and a "quotation of the week." I remember that one of those years, I was maintaining the site from London. (ah, fondest memories...)

Anyway, I mention this only because I wanted to mention a recent word of the day. For those of you who don't know, I subscribe to A Word A Day - I think I've subscribed to this listserv for close to 10 years. I really dig it, and it is run by a person - Anu Garg! Although it has changed over the years, it has retained a personal feel to it that appeals to me.

The word of the day a couple days ago was mystagogue. For some reason, this word appeals to me, rolls off my tongue. And, even if you haven't seen this word before, you probably guess what it means! I'll leave the looking up part to you.
