What's in a Name?

It makes perfect sense, doesn't it.

Well, apparently your name, the year of your birth, and the statistics related to such are highly significant.

Are you a Kenneth?  Chances are good that you are between 38 to 65 years old.  Or, maybe a Dorothy?  You are probably between 64 to 77 years old.

Here are some other name:

Barbara:  56 to 74

Ashley:  17 to 26

Fred:  53 to 74

Herbert: 52 to 74

Faith: 7 to 24


The years when Disney Princesses hit the screen definitely changed the scale.  
With the young male ages, it seems that names that end in -en, -an, -in, and -on seem to be popular.  Oddly enough "Oliver" had a quite a run long after the movie was released.

Sooo, where are YOU?  "Susan" is between 47 and 58.  I'll take that.

Are you brave enough?  Can you take this step?  Check out this site!

P.S.  Betty is between 62 and 80+

If the font is too small (and sometimes they are), Press "control and then +" and see if that helps.  Delores told me that.  She is brilliant.

Wednesday Words: Harvey and Thelonius

Thelonius Monk, 1917 -1982

Harvey Nuemis had inherited Nuemis Mortuary from his father Frederick, passed down the family line since 1869.  Life as an up and coming MORTICIAN in a small town was hell for young Harvey.

Once dirt roads were covered with BLACKTOP, poor Harvey was INSULTED daily and thrown down by local high school thugs onto the black streets.  Yet Harvey had a dream.

Harvey pictured himself as a DYNAMIC JAZZ pianist in the Copa Cabana, wherever that was.  Bodyguards surrounded him, pushing back the throngs who wished to touch him, to INTERFERE with his music.

At every funeral, as Harvey played funeral hymns on the cheap electric organ, he was playing " 'Round Midnight" in his head, right next to Thelonius Monk.

Oh, Harvey, to be so lucky.
