For some people, “exercise” is a dirty word. The fact remains that almost everyone can improve their health through physical activity. Regular physical activity can substantially reduce the risk of developing or dying from heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and high blood pressure.

An Abraham Lincoln memorial, sponsored in part by the Kentucky Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, will be dedicated at Louisville Waterfront Park from 8:45 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, June 4. Gates open at 8 p.m. for the sunset ceremony, which is free and open to the public.

Words take on a life of their own. As someone who spends much of his days dealing with language, it’s interesting and sometimes worrisome to see the changes take shape.

A recent conversation with my 4-year-old grandson brought one example into focus.

“Sorry don’t butter the biscuits,” he said.

Apparently, this is a Southern cliché that he’s learned from his Alabama grandmother.
