" It's all said and done, it's real, and it's been fun." ~Green Day~ I’ve got to say goodbye. I must leave Blogit – for awhile anyway. I’ve developed repetitive motion syndrome and it hurts. Besides Blogiting, I also edit for my son, who is an author and a sports columnist. I’ve spent too much time...

WATCH OUT FOR THAT PIANO!
I am a greedy reader, or maybe it’s that I’m a compulsive reader. You’ve heard of the type: the proverbial cereal box reader. There is not a night of my life that I do not read. And many a morning, too, if I wake up early and can’t go back to sleep. So, with the abundant reading that I do, outside...

THEY WILL GO HUNGRY
I am a news/political junkie. I have my radio on most days from wake-up to relax-on–the-couch-time in the evenings. From across the country I am hearing pleas from food banks and charities that feed thousands of poor and homeless at Christmas. Their food supplies are disparately low this year. So...

EINSTEIN AND ME
Einstein is not the only one who has a theory, I HAVE ONE, TOO! Whatever your general overall daily health barometer is throughout the year, be it: "fine", "so-so", or "lousy", when your birth month begins to roll around, that general overall day-to-day health feeling begins to worsen. "Fine" then...

" THE STOMACH IS THE CENTER AND ORIGIN OF CIVILIZATION." Unknown In this wide, wide world of food is a potpourri, every combination, every spice, every recipe, every mixture conceivable. But in the very beginning it was probably just a little ice water and a cold fish or two. So, how did all the...

A THANKSGIVING DAY HORROR STORY There is a universal law, you know. Oh, yes! And it dictates that when you are immersed over your head into the infinite and diverse tasks of organizing and performing the gargantuan number of necessary picayune details, when you have been on your feet all day...

DOG LOVERS, YOU'LL HATE THIS
A member of my extended family, who shall remain nameless for reasons yet to be revealed, told me that he and his wife decided that they want to become the parents of a dog. "A puppy?" I asked. "No, a dog," was the response. "At least a year old, one with a little maturity already." Wanting to do...

I’VE GOT A BEEF WITH COWS (Sorry For the Pun) Is there still some reason to keep having this Daylight Saving Time thing year after year? Spring forward; Fall back? It’s not the daylight SAVING part I object to; it’s the daylight LOSING part. Haven’t I heard that in Year 2007 the good part, the...

The Junk Heap Of History. Start Tossing
At the end of time when we look back and see what has remained as part of the history of mankind, hopefully we will see the people and things that are worth remembering, things that had an important lasting impact on the human race and its trek toward nirvana.

As I say, "It ain’t easy"--- an expression we all use now and again. And it got me to thinking. I wondered who was the first to use that expression and why did it catch on to such a degree that ever since then we all use it. And next I wondered what there is about the expression that makes us feel...
