Suppose

For all you math wizards see if you can guess this one out before you read the answer.

Just suppose I’m a grandfather (which I am) and I have a grandson who’s about as many days old as my son is weeks old and my grandson is as many months old as I am in years. My son, grandson and I together are 140 years old. How old am I in years?

Got the answer yet?

Just a little more.

The answer is I’m 84 years old. Did you get it right?

Putsch is the new word of the day.

I really had reservations about posting this word. Those of you who think they knew me than you know I just couldn’t resist and so here I take the leap again. People all over the world you can see it on the news is doing this. We can do this almost every year and surely every four years if you haven’t guess it yet the meaning of (pooch) is a sudden political uprising or rebellion. Here is the good Old USA we have a rebellion of sorts every four years regardless of your political affiliation. This year is no different. May the person and party you vote for be victorious. If not we’ll do it all over again in four years.

Clachan is the new word of the day.

There are a few of these still around here but not many. Of course that all depends on the size of the clachan’s around you there may not be any close and there may not be any at all. Hillary once said it I think but she used a different term. Guess it yet? The meaning of (klakh’en) is a hamlet and of course the meaning of hamlet is a small village. Now that you know the meaning what say you?

Bailey is the new word of the day.

OK I could not get this one by the wife. Although she did not nail it she came so darn close while writing this I can’t help but to shake my head in disbelief of how she knew this. We as agents should know this word but just to be sure I looked in my handy dandy workbook. You know the one we used to study for the exam. Anyway it’s not in there so the meaning of (ba’le) is the outer wall or court of a medieval castle. With some of the homes being built now I think the word or term should be used more frequently what say you?
