My daughter Alison writes a blog, “The Neurotic Housewife” (www.neuroticalison.wordpress.com).
Recently she fumed about a woman named Beverly who, unknowingly — or maybe not — “stole” her spot at the gym. Alison wrote:

It is difficult to think of personal things to write about in a column for a newspaper if you really think about it.
I try every once in a while to have a more personal story, especially from my childhood, for some of the readers to try and relate to and other times I pick a topic in the community and just spill out my thoughts.

When I was a kid we used to listen to a record album of silly songs.
One song went: “Glory, glory, hallelujah. Teacher hit me with a ruler. She bopped me on the bean with a rotten tangerine….”
I can’t remember the rest. But even all these years later, whenever I hear the word “glory” that stupid song pops into my head. (And now it will pop into yours.)
