This is the one thousandth post of Ancora Imparo, and with that personal milestone, I felt that today's topic and title should be of import - something weighty, impactful, and life-changing for the reader. I lost some sleep about this very matter last night and it also has lingered in my mind during all my waking hours today.
Not that there is a shortage or dearth of material from which to choose. For starters, I finally became aware that dearth is not spelled dirth. I am certain that, after all my years, I have never fully embraced the correct spelling of the word dearth, until now. That is momentous on the day of my 1000th posting, don't you think?
My brain is recovering from a weekend of traveling and, consequently, is not operating at its peak efficiency. For example, I made coffee for myself this morning, with a method that uses a Thermos, a special filter, and a special filter-holder. Because my brain is spinning with excessive details about nothing - thank you, Seinfeld - I was sorely distracted during the coffee-making procedure and neglected to put the Thermos container underneath the special filter-holder - resulting in coffee running right down the drain. Later my brain began a comparison of pie crusts - their making, their consistency, and their flavor and after that, what do to with the ground turkey thawing on the kitchen counter.
Obviously not topics suitable for the momentous nature of a 1000th posting.
I saw a brief clip of the Diane Sawyer interview with Gabby Giffords, the Arizona Congresswoman who was shot in the head this past January. A remarkable woman, she has recovered farther and faster than the experts predicted or ever imagined. I think her brain is working at a higher capacity and efficiency than mine.
There is plenty of news fodder on which I could opine, but little interests me, nor do I think much of it is suitable or has an appropriate topic for Ancora imparo. I really do not care if Lindsay Lohan is in or out of jail or if Dr. Conrad Murray did or did not give "milk" to MJ. I should care about the financial mess in Europe because it affects us every day and I do care about my elderly relatives that I just visited in another state. No blog-topic fuel for thought there.
Beyond that, I just could not settle on a topic for my milestone posting. Which is why I changed my title from "A Memorable Title?" to "Seinfeld-like in Nature". You'll all know what I mean.
"After all, tomorrow IS another day.", I said to myself as I wrapped my exquisite drapery fabric around my body.
Ancora imparo
