What's in a Name?

Oh wow. I'm such a horrible blogger. Missed yet another A+A post. . . HOW COULD I???
I apologize, my faithful friends! I can only hope this pitiful little Name post will appease you while I draft a couple more book reviews and gather my awkward/awesome things. I plan to give a brief update soon regarding life in general, including details on my grandfather's condition. He's doing well, undergoing radiation, but still managing to stay in the thick of farm-life. They say you can't keep a good man down, and, boy, do I believe it!
Bear with me, lovelies!
