Word Watching ~
Mojo ~ something that one has a lot of ~ sometimes. Other days, not so much.
Every day a word is delivered to my e-mail via a website "Sesquiotica." Today's word is "mojo."
Canadian author, James Harbeck, describes his fun effort as "word tasting notes and other lively things on language."

As Queen Victoria lay dying, a member of the royal household discussed the imminent event with Edward, the Prince of Wales. "I wonder if she will be happy in heaven?" he mused.
"I don't know, " said the prince. "She will have to walk behind the angels ~ and she won't like that!"
~ Edward VII, son of Victoria, King of the United Kingdom 1910 - 10.
