What's In a Name
Since the name Blue Sage is sticking, I googled it again and paid attention to the results. I chose the name because: I'm a member of the extensive, lunatic Sage family; I like all things blue; I like sage, the herb; "blue sage" is actually a wild variety of sage that grows in Wyoming, where some Sage family members live; and I'm usually depressed (blue) about something. And there's the whole implication of wisdom which really doesn't work here.
Back to google. My syndication options are limited. A whole bunch of people have already thought of the name, and probably even the lame BS joke. There's a bluegrass band called Blue Sage (which makes sense) and there's a rock band named Blue Sage (no explanation) with a fan base of girls in Abercrombie shirts. There's also a finance group (yawn), and a vegetarian restaurant in Philly.
Google came up with some photos of the plant and its cousins, Mealy Blue Sage and Giant Blue Sage (I'll stick with the plain variety, thanks). Then I found this site, which belongs to a self-described "tall freak with a bandana, glowsticks, and a Bastek badge," who "[feels] most comfortable representing [him/herself] as an animal rather than a human." Must be a relative.
There's a catering service, a coffee house, a spa, a real estate broker, an arts center, and a glass blowing studio. Lots of results seem to be associated with Utah. This guy calls himself Blue Sage on backpacker.com. Lucky for me, no Blue Sage Blog yet. Something close, but not quite. So at least I've cornered that market.
