In response to last week’s
question, "What's the opposite of rehab?," my temple friend Richard
replied, "Reelection" while my social media friend Mark suggested,
"Rebinge."
Both my neighbor Al and sailing
friend Norm declared, "Baher."
Not the Palestinian neighborhood near East Jerusalem, they noted that
spelling rehab backwards would be its opposite.
My collaboration friend Andy
explained, "Retox: Verb. The act of doing all the things your nutritionist
and trainer tell you not to do. I think it's better as an antonym for
detox, but heck, close enough. :)
Used in a sentence: "Hey, we've been eating spinach smoothies all
week, let's go have a burger and beer at Highland Tap to retox."
When my birthday bud Jon called
out "Prefab," my cousin Valarie added, "Instead of habbing
again, this is before habbing in the first place. But who habs anymore anyway,
right? : ) " To this, my
cycling friend Ted concurred, "It would be Prehab, or simply
"Hab". But my official answer
is 'College,' which is what got you in to Rehab to start with!"
My PR friend Stan declared,
"Unhab – especially easy to do at this time of year."
My sailing friend Angie commented
about last week's post script, and then answered the question, "OMG - LMAO
on sergeant...... I would participate but I am not that funny: Opposite of rehab would probably be Happy
Hour or a two martini breakfast."
(Yes, Angie, you are funny.)
Please send me your
thoughts about this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' ":
How old is Santa Claus?
Live well...laugh often and
heartily.... have a good week and never regret anything that made you smile.

Wed is the shortest day of the
year. December
Solstice (Winter Solstice) is Dec. 21, 2016 at 5:44 am in Atlanta. With
just 9:54:31 of daylight, Dec. 21 is 4
hours, 30 minutes shorter than on June Solstice,. So make the most of your night!
Thanks to Demetri Martin, Steven
Wright and George Carlin for the inspiration for Hmmm. I invite you
