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.

[Being a royal-watcher, I marvel at the way things have changed.  Kate Middleton*, future Queen of England, delivered her first public speech yesterday reportedly wearing a dress that she borrowed from her Mother.  Good for her when budgets are tight.] lbwalker
