I find this question to be the key to whether or not my new idea will have a foothold in the land of pending projects or if it'll just camp in the brainstorm queue until the drawing table is ready. The title I've been batting around was suggested by my grandfather actually. One day, while sitting in his truck parked alongside the road outside a hardware store, I unloaded the idea upon him and my uncle. They seemed mildly interested, and as I told them of my need for a title my grandfather told me of a name which had always impressed him.
He told me a story of a time when he was a boat carpenter at a marina on the east coast of Florida. He was working on a project and a boat passed through with the title, "Non Oblitus." His curiosity got the best of him and he felt compelled to ask the shop manager what kind of title that was. The shop manager mused that it might be some Caribbean saying, and he thought it meant something like "Lest we forget." My grandfather apparently never forgot the title and, after I had explained the idea and the reasoning behind the story, he thought such a title might be fitting.
After that day I spent some time researching and found that it was in fact, as the spelling indicates, Latin. The meaning was about the same as my grandfather's previous boss guessed, and after some thought in regards to the application to my overall idea, I decided to seriously consider attaching it to the project.
What project, you ask? Well, we'll get there, faithful reader. Please keep checking back, and maybe, someday very soon, I'll be able to unveil this exhaustingly well thought out idea. Until then, here's another drawing of mine to add to the collection. Enjoy!
