I’ve got Good News I share with my readers only! There is a thing out there called GOOGLE where you can get all the pressing questions of the world answered from the comfort of your chair. No question is too difficult or obscure.
What is the etymology of vade mecum you ask? “A pocket manual, handbook,” 1620s, Latin, literally “go with me;” from imperative of vadere “to go” (see vamoose) + me “me” + cum “with.”
I somehow feel it is sort of cheating looking things up on Google so, now that I am retired and have some extra time, I will endeavor to memorize all the information in Google, A through Z including all the numbers. It should take some time but keep me as mentally sharp as I am now.
I’ll let you know how I am doing in a couple of weeks. If I am not done I should certainly have an end-date in sight. You are all invited to join me; let’s have some fun!
