It's 9 PM and I still can't think of anything to write about in this darn blog. I just got back from a Veteran's Day concert put on by my son's band. The band was very good. I think they need to hire a publicity agent though. It would have been nice to have more of an audience. Oh well...instead of thinking up an original blog, I'll share a "funny" that a friend sent. Good thing I keep a file of them.

Today's Little Bit of Trivia

The words loosen and unloosen mean the same thing. On the other hand, cleave and cleave are two completely opposite words. Isn't the English language wonderful. I sure am glad that I don't have to learn it as a second language. Learning Italian is challenging enough.
