Day 9 of the Coastal Lexicon Advent Calendar and today’s word is:

🌊 tang — a collective name for large, coarse seaweed growing above the low-water mark

As in the Tangie in Orkney & Shetland, a horse/man sea-spirit covered with seaweed, which haunts the seashore.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.

…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

One fun thing I like to do is assail S with ALL my ideas for how we can better (re)organize things and get rid of old crap and better use our storage space FIRST thing in the morning while we’re trying to get ourselves and the kid ready for the day. He LOVES it and I am A DREAM, as you can imagine.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.
