RAINBOW BY ANOTHER NAME

Just after Thanksgiving in 2002, Michael Michalko sent out the following message
and sparked this first CC for 2003.

Creativity?? Imagine the word "rainbow" did not exist (there was no word
"rainbow") and you see a rainbow. You are asked to give it a name. What name would
you give it? What would you call it?????

Then pick one randomly.
Spend time trying to create a new name for it.

where you are.

Spend time trying to create a new name for it.

WEDNESDAY

FRIDAY

Please share a sample of your results.

Best wishes for a fantastic 2003. May the realities of this year far surpass in
fantastically positive ways your wildest dreams and wishes for the year.
