Walk Like A Man


Today is my Dad's birthday and so I have to dedicate today's song to him!  I picked today's song because when I think back to being in the car with him, or staining the stupid house with him (the staining was stupid not him...just clarifying! Haha!), or going on our dates, or traveling to his job sites with him I can hear him singing along to this song!  And I was amazed at how he hit the high notes like Frankie Valli does.  My Dad and Mom raised me on this music.  It is as familar to me as a old favorite blanket! :) 
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons were a favorite for us.  As I was YouTub"ing" them and taking a trip back through memory lane I was amazed at how many of their songs I know by heart. A broadway show came out a few years back, "The Jersey Boys" and it is the story of Frankie and the Four Seasons.  Of course my Mom and Dad have seen it, they loved it!  I bet I would too.
Happy 63rd birthday Daddy.  Thanks for walking like a man all these years - it set a great example for Paul, Brad, and myself.  I love you!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
