Rad

My word for today is rad. I have a long history with this word; I grew up in a surf town in southern California, and this word was very popoular at my school. It's a short form of radical, but it means great, cool, wonderful.

I used to associate this word with surfers and surfer wannabees, but I see it and hear it now in all kinds of places. On the blog zenhabits, for example, you can see it: "rad readers."  My friend Harriet uses this word, and it sounds good when she says it.

So, I hope you're having a rad week!
