About

It looks like my original “About” page disappeared somehow. As I recall, I had said something about being a Penn State grad with B.A. and M.A. degrees in English who now runs a legislative education and advocacy program for the Penn State Alumni Association.
The inspiration for this blog’s name came from a New York Times column several months back, titled “Wordnado,” about the most interesting words of 2013. I chose the name because I figured this blog would be about anything that struck me as interesting, and might focus sometimes on words and language, and I liked the sense of a rapid circular motion that “Wordnado” conveyed to me.
