Today I invented the Blogette

"Blogette." What is it?  Of course there's nothing new under the sun but I'd like to believe I invented this word.  How's this for a Graham-ipedia definition? "Not quite a blog but bigger than a tweet and of more substance than a Facebook post."  

I "invented" this word whilst strolling in the rain with random half-blogs and tweets running through my cold, dripping head. Then, something stopped me in my tracks-- the sound of rushing water underneath the bridge. I stopped instinctively because normally this little creek is just a gurgling baby and I long ago learned to ignore a gurgling baby.

How refreshing that a sudden awareness of rushing water made me stop and even take a video. Woohoo! (Excuse my Facebook language.) Here it is:


I'm not totally out of touch with nature! In times past I might have driven into a lake and after five or ten minutes realized I had left the road.  But today was different and I celebrate the victory. 

I don't commune with nature but sometimes she yells at me and today I heard her. And, like Al Gore so easily invented the internet, I invented the blogette. It's is a fine day indeed on the "wet" coast.
