The “Playwrights Walk,” a new series of art installations, will bring history to the streets Ashlanders walk. Initially a dozen plaques, and eventually many more, the installation will celebrate the rich and dynamic theater culture in and around Ashland.
plodge
The Scottish and English word plodging has been wading through the lexical muck and mire since the late 1700s, and it refers to icky, slow, molasses-type walking. Plodge is probably a variation of plod. This word isn’t totally out of use, as a 1995 use from British magazine The Countryman illustrates: “Northbound Pennine Wayfarers, plodging through the interminable peat-bogs of the North Pennines.” Even if you have a spring in your step, it’s tough to skip merrily through the peat-bogs.
