November 19, 2010 Name Games
Okay, faithful reader[s] -- time to prove your mettle.
I've been asked to write a twice-weekly column for Catonsville Patch, a new micro-local journalism site that's popping up all over the state. The subject is local eating: restaurants, cooking, gardening, etc.
My husband is much better at naming things than I am. He named my blog -- with a clever double entendre / pop-culture reference combo. I named the cat -- after one of the characters in a story I was reading the day he brought her home. See what I mean?
This time, though, I have barely more than a day to decide on one. So -- help! Quick!
Rob to the Rescue has already come up with two beautifully alliterative finalists: Cultivating Community and Neighborhood Nourishment. But the ballot's open through tomorrow. Vote the way they do in Chicago: early and often.

Way to go, Rob! Cultivating Community really fits all the areas you will cover. (Better than Crunchy Catonsville, and you won't have to ask RD for permission to use it.)
That one gets my vote, rather than the second suggestion. (I've never really liked the word "nourishment," but you wouldn't understand, because it's a synesthesia thing.)
She never responded to my suggestion: Emily Bytes
