| "cothurnal" PRONUNCIATION: (koh-THUR-nuhl) MEANING: adjective: Of or related to tragedy or tragic acting. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, from Greek kothornos (a thick-soled laced boot worn by tragic actors in ancient Athenian tragedies). USAGE: "The first thing that strikes the listeners is the grotesque and parodic transformation of the habitual musical idioms, ... devoid of any shade of elevation and enthusiasm inherent in oratorical declarations, as if an imaginary hero, invisibly assuming a cothurnal pose, is just going to make faces and put out his tongue at the public." |

The story you are about to read is true. The name(s) may have been changed to protect the stupid...
Bozo criminal for today comes from Wichita, Kansas, where two bozos decided to steal some
limestone landscaping rocks. Their first mistake was loading the rocks into a Ford Explorer that was
not equipped to handle such a heavy load. Their second mistake was in parking the Explorer on a
riverbank while they loaded the rock. You can guess what happened next. The load shifted in the
truck and it slid backwards into the river, where it promptly sank. Oops. An address found inside the
truck led the cops to our bozo.

| It's just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. ~ Bill Hicks |
| When we slow down and take a look at the big picture of our life... and make note of exactly what it is we want to accomplish or overcome... at first glance it can seem like an up hill climb of a big mountain... one that we can never conquer. Truth of the matter is regardless of what is before us... it will only be achieved by taking one step at a time. It's important to remember this simple fact... no one trips over the entire mountain... it's that small hole... in the road.. or that tiny little pebble that we stumble on. Successful people... life's winners... have all learned exactly how to prioritize... how to fill in those holes in the road.. and step over the pebbles... they have learned how to handle those little things life throws at us first ... when task is completed the bigger things are mastered. There will always be holes in the road... and tiny pebbles as we climb the mountain... Don't let the little pebbles in your life cause you to stumble and fail. |
