How weird is this Star Trek moment, anyway?

Everybody tells me that poetry is a dying art. Is it? What does it even mean for something to be a “dying art”? People still read and write poetry, and I think they always will, as long as language exists. Maybe poetry won’t have as strong a command on the cultural landscape ever again that it once did, but is that the same thing as saying an art is “dying”?
Are there any arts that are truly dead?

Today I start a brief (five days) vacation in which I’m mostly sticking around the Home Unit, although The Wife and I are going on an overnighter/day trip Friday and Saturday. I’ve always liked these kinds of vacations; there’s a lot to be said for just being off work, without all the rigmarole of traveling to a destination and doing travelly stuff. I’ve been indulging these kinds of vacations for years…but now they’re calling them “staycations”.
So, the Random Wednesday Conversation Starter is simply this: Is “staycation” a dumb word, or what?!
