January

January is named after Janus, the Roman god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. Janus is also where the term janitor comes from.

Today

Today's word is bivouac.
"I’ll go see where he’s bivouacked the family." always struck me as odd when watching The Great Outdoors.

Today's annoyance is crappy snow shoveling, and today's malady is Upper Respiratory Illness.

Barista? I barely know ya!

I was surprised to find out today that the guys on my team did not know what a barista was.
They range in age from about 24-45 and they drink coffee everyday, so how does that work?

A little too ironic

Chaos is the 5000th most common word in the English language. At least according to these guys.
