I am contemplating my blog's title. There's just something about the word maintenance. And then there's the use of a classic book title cleverly tweaked to become my blog title. Is that cheesy? Void of creativity?
Maintenance brings to mind someone who requires a lot of energy to have a relationship with. Ick. So,
I looked the word up to understand its roots.
The english word maintain comes from the latin words manu tenere to hold in the hand. Thats kind of nice.
It means to:
1. keep something in good condition by making repairs and correcting problems (very relevant.)
2. to continue doing something (still relevant.)
3. to keep in an existing state; preserve from failure or decline (yup.)
4. to sustain against opposition or danger; uphold and defend (ok.)
5. to continue or persevere; carry on; keep up (definitely.)
6. to support or provide for (yes!)
I suppose the word Maintenance work here. What do you think?
