Maybe there is a fish that fits this description but the word just doesn’t make sense, does it? So, hunky-dory could mean a large, strong and sexually attractive male that is a fish which has a mouth that opens wide. Should I go around from now on saying, “Well, he’s such a hunky.” Then, there is “dory” - what in the world does dory mean? According to the dictionary, it is a flat bottomed boat with flaring sides, or a narrow fish with a mouth that can be opened very wide. Hey, I’m a red-blooded American girl and I know what that is, but I thought they were called “Hunks”. A funny sounding word that really doesn’t give us a clue on the meaning of the word - hunky - what is a hunky? Actually, the dictionary defines “hunky” as “a large, strong, and sexually attractive male”. Yes, we have some days that we want to not have happened like Hurricane Harvey, but those red-letter days - well, those days make me smile, and give me faith in the human race, so I give the eclipse a big, fat Days to remember, days to get together with your favorite people, days to get along as humans. They also are red-letter days, just like the days of old. I have a Samsung smart phone, and if I look at my calendar, the holidays are highlighted in red. Once again, that is when people gathered to be one, to get along for a period of time.Īnd that brings me to today. Then, in 1549 it was proven in print when The Book of Common Prayer included a calendar with the holy days marked in red ink. Way back churches would circle calendar days with red marks for church holy days and festivities. We travelled, stood together, stood in awe to one natural event. Or, at the very least, I hope.īut it was the eclipse that was the red-letter day, the day that was memorable, pleasantly memorable. We as humans seem to come together when there are natural occurrences, whether good or bad. And I am not making light of this natural disaster, but once again people will gather together to help one another. A horrific occurrence that means destruction and despair to many as it makes its way from the coast and pours its rain into the interior of Texas. Last night, Harvey the Hurricane slammed into Texas’ coastline. People stood together and cheered! We as a people were together for the first time in what seems like a long time, and that simple gift from the heavens gave me hope that maybe we can get along.
People were cheering when the moon covered the sun and the backdrop was covered with blues and oranges and reds. And you know what? I never heard one bit of bitter emotion. That’s right, I saw it in Oregon - absolutely breathtaking - to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to Kansas and Carbondale, Illinois, to Georgia and South Carolina. I watched the entire totality from my living room. What was amazing was for those couple of minutes (2 minutes, so many seconds) everyone’s attention was focused on the sun and moon playing a dance of light and darkness. A day when people gathered from far and wide to watch a spectacular event the heavens gave to us. It was Monday, August 21, 2017, wasn’t it? A special day.
