This is a lovely, thoughtful thread.
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Sometimes when you can't solve a problem you can change it to a different problem you can solve, and that's just as good.

I think some of the greatest delights in the business of etymology are words—especially everyday words—whose origins we just don’t know.
So, this year, I’ll do an etymological Advent calendar on this theme: words with origins that are obscure, uncertain, or otherwise unknown.

The Renwick Gallery, the Smithsonian Art & Design Museum in DC, has an exhibition on the arts & craft of state fairs through early September. It is so much fun! One of the highlights is this butter sculpture of a cow by Sarah, Hannah, and Grace Pratt.
