Trying Tyro !

My second stab at a post on this particular blog. There have already been several edits to this 2nd post, though.
One of the reason I wanted to delay my starting this blog, was I wanted to ensure I had a clear vision for what I wanted readers to get out of it. Now that I have defined my message (more so in my brain, it will become apparent after following and as I share more stories) Infact, at this point, I am actually a lil back logged on ideas. I have lots of material ready for the chopping block and there are a variety of themes I hope to incorporate. There’s no real telling what it is going to evolve into, and I find that’s one of the most exciting things about undertaking this blogging project.( All this talk about defining a voice got me thinking about the movie Happy feet where they all have their heartsongs, there is lively story with a good message ).

OK, Tyro is a bit of a Funny word.But I find new words Fun.
Tyro is a word I embraced originally when I was learning how to play tennis. Mellifluous alliterations are another simple thing I enjoy. I mean you have to agree 'Diligent beginner' really doesn't sounds as intriguing as ' Trying Tyro'. I enjoy learning the etymology I always take interest in finding out where things came from.

Pronunciation: \ˈtī-(ˌ)rō\ Function:noun Usage: often attributive
Etymology:
Medieval Latin, from Latin tiro young soldier, tyro Date:1587
: a beginner in learning : novice

It's interesting to see the path things follow but ultimately the name of a word, like any other attempts to pin-down the initiation of things, boils down to the age old question of the Chicken or the Egg?. Or as my friends in Christian moral issues ( or whatever that it was called) class we had to take my Freshmen year of HS, "If you can only catch an STD from someone else, how did the first person ever infected, contract it?"
Who can ever know the whenhow or wherefor of things, really?

A fun book if you enjoy etymology or even if you need/want a good chuckle,
