"Why's it got to be that way?..."
DateLine: Monday, December 31, 2007
Last ASKian Blog for 2007
The Elevated Train in Chicago is a Bed to many People, comprised of 44 Seats in each Compartment. At night (when it gets later for The Homeless Segment of a City -- any City for that matter), they board with their Belongings in tow to spend this Nocturnal Period riding up and down the Tracks. When the End of the Line (North and South Terminals) is reached, I'd assume they exit, only to wait as patiently as possible on the barren Platform till the next Train arrives so they can continue to attempt Sleep. Not a good Night's Sleep or Rest, far from a safe Night's Sleep, but inhabiting a Unit that's dry and enclosed for the long, often dangerously long Nights ahead.
I realized that The Train (the CTA: Chicago Transit Authority) was a Bed -- even a Bedroom to this ever-growing Population, as I boarded the Granville El-Train early one morning, the last Day of December in 2007, at 5:30. Most Chicagoans were still home and asleep while I thought of what my Surroundings really depicted; what they reflected here in the 21st Century. Only 15 Hours later, tens of thousands of Party-Revellers would hop on these El-Trains to attend heathenly raucous Parties, ushering in 2008 and spending more Money in one night (within a few short Hours) than many earn in a Week's Time. These Bedrooms would (then) not be in service to those who needed them most.
As I sat and looked around, Sadness filled my Heart. Three were fast asleep. No doubt they were someone's Daughter or Son, even someones' Mother or Father. Having completed a Marketing Study on the Effects of Sleeplessness, I knew the Benefits and Detriments first-hand of a good Night's Rest. Besides not having the Privilege of being in your own Home (and conveniently finding your way to the Frig or Bathroom within a few seconds at any time you wished), safe within the sturdy Walls and locked in, the Occupants reflected a pitifully sad Commentary and State of The Life we have created for ourselves. Privacy was not theirs to enjoy and partake (in).
After all, this was THE BIG CITY, where People gravitated and converged to find their 'Fame and Fortune' only to be reduced to nothing but the Clothes on their Back(s) and the Trunks that they pulled. These Trains are not Club Cars. They are not equipped with Showers, Bathrooms or a spiffy Kitchen Unit. They were designed to move People from Point A to Point B to Destinations where they needed to be and then back again (if that was called for). However, because Survival is such a strong Instinct, these Movable Homes have become a Shelter for those who don't have the Elementary Essentials that make Life livable. Living on Rapid Transit exists because there's a Pressing Need for this State of Limbo that has not been solved since the First Tracks were laid 116 years ago.
Sagging Black Circles (under one's eyes) are the sure-sign of a Sleepless, hard and interrupted Night. With Hats and Caps pulled down low to keep the glare and light out (of their Eyes) and Scarves wrapped firmly around their Necks, I could not tell (from their individual Faces) how down-and-out they (really) were. Maybe I was better off not knowing...
That is: If they had been without a proper Bed and Lodging for a Day, a Month or longer than a Year.
2007: THE YEAR OF THE FORECLOSURE: Foreclosures struck -- rocked -- an all-time high throughout the United States. This swelling Population of 'Nouveau Homeless" (who weathered 'The Storm' literally) before and after a dire Housing Market eventually recovers, continues to live as best as they can, traveling from place-to-place, much like The Bohemian Gypsy. The Scales vary. There is 'The Homeless.' There are those newly labeled as 'homeless' because of Foreclosures, Fires, Natural Disasters, Divorces or other Severities. The Bottom Line(nevertheless) remains:
They are without a Home, Roof, Warmth, Comforts and Security (defined as 'The Basics or Essentials') that allows them to function to their fullest Ability(ies). This is robbing Society of its Culture, besides the Individual of his or her full Potential. This is a Crime against Humanity.
Chances are People in the near Future (who live from Paycheck-to-Paycheck) will be boarding an El-Train...finding a Transitional Home -- a Space as big as a Seat -- to help them pull through another Night with the hope-filled Forecast of a new Day that beckons as soon as each Sun rises, if they can.
In the oblique Blackness and crackling Chill of The Night's Severity, as they bear their sorrow-filled Transition, the State of Homelessness hardly phases those who sit clustered amongst them (on these El-Train Cars) while both travel to their next Destination. However, they have a Destination. The Homeless do not.
Bears live in Dens and Caves.
Bees live in Hives.
Birds and Squirrels build Nests.
Some Animals burrow far Underground.
Some Birds are even smart enough to routinely fly south for a brittle and brutal Winter. "And who," I ask, "Really possesses the proverbial 'Bird Brain' now?"
Homeless Pets are rare (except for those poor (possibly abandoned) Cats and Dogs whose former Owner could not keep them for any Number of Reasons) . Without a Doubt, some Animals do live much better than their Human Counterparts who ride the Elevated Train (or even a Bus) on the Inner City Train Tracks in the pitch Darkness of Night or driving through the long and lonely concrete-paved Streets of Town inhabited by Millions, where Strangers reside and tend to their own.
Animals possess a much better Grip, Sense and Perspective of care-taking (of their own) than We Humans do. They've somehow never bred the Indifference Dysfunction that we now rampantly take for granted and see (or accept) as 'The Norm.' As huge Buildings sit empty; as more Structures are being built that are too expensive to buy or rent (for the average, soon-to-be-unemployed or now displaced American), the Great American Irony here makes for Good Politics than no one seems to answer positively, term-in and decade-out.
"Homelessness is solely a dispicable Human Error."
After all, just ride the El-train at night and see who goes Home and who doesn't. Maybe 2008 with its Welcome of Hope, Goodwill and Prosperity will change (any and all) of this for them...
Time will tell...as it always does.
Good Night. Sleep tight...

A D D E N D U M: Thursday, January 3, 2008 - 6:14 AM
As We glare into the Iowa Caucus that finally occurs Today, wouldn't it be nice if all Presidential Candidates spent only One Day's Worth of their Campaign Banks & Budgets by donating it to Homeless Shelters, Food Depositories or Aids to help The Homeless? Imagine what that would do for their Fellow Americans? How much is too much? How much more Despair, Poverty and Disillusionment can People take? Yes, the El-Train is a Hot Bed for Action...

From The Creator of NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994
NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 slated annually for June 18
Celebrating its 15TH Year in 2008
Celebrated 63 Days after Income Tax Day (April 15TH), this HOLIDATE is designed to jumpstart the Economy (as Recessions have been plaguing Societies since Biblical Times). One will instantly recall the terms of “7 Years of Feast followed by 7 Years of Famine, Hardships and Troubled Times.” Abundance vs. Depletion can be classically traced back to Egyptian Days where Shortages were offset by Periods of great Wealth. Some Things don’t change, but merely remain in a Cyclical Balance throughout Time. This is the leading Force to be reckoned with.
FAST-FORWARDING TO THE NOW MOMENT: Your hard-earned Income Tax Return is (undoubtedly) back and ‘The Urge to Splurge’ is dominating your Scenario. Face it: Nearly ½ the Year is gone. You deserve a Treat. ASK knows every which Way to properly splurge even if you’re limited to a Budget, dangling from a Shoestring or possess all the Cash/Loot/Credit Cards in The World in which to splurge to The Maximum Degree. Splurging is a State of Mind, mind you, a Direct Action We can look forward to that takes The Edge off The Stress and Distress that may be hampering and us or happening around us.
Now in its 15TH Astro-&-Gastronical Year of Celebration (no matter what your SPLURGE-of-Preference is or latest Addictions & Afflictions are), even planning for NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 is FUN-tastic…for Resalers/Retailers, Individuals, Family, Friends, Media Personalities, Reporters and Lovers of all Makes and Models of Folks (albeit you are not residing in a Third World Country or in abject Poverty) where the Basic Requirements of Life are not even met or are tremendously stingy, parsimonious or unresourceful. “More upshot HOLIDATES as these should be created to propel an ailing Global Economy,” ASK states “especially as 2007 closes, HOLIDATES as NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 are feel-good Events to fully enjoy. It entices and excites all of The Senses.”
For those who are fearful they may splurge more than they can reasonably afford, ASK has deemed NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 only One Day in length so no one is soured on the Cycle or Stigma of STM: Splurging Too Much. This immediately alleviates and diminishes its Negative Side or Impact of Over-indulgence or Excess, letting only the Vitality and Oompa of the HOLIDATE prevail.”
TV, RADIO, WEBCASTS, PUBLICATION & STORY IDEAS:
1. ASK (as a Contributor to your Publication in her own EVENTOLOGICAL Way) describes to your Readership/Subscribers how to conveniently SPLURGE within your Means, using your Hometown as your Indicator of Spending.
2. Assign one of your Senior Staff Writers to interview ASK regarding the 5W’s of Journalism and how she created this unique Event, now in its 15TH year.
3. By the same Token, you may wish to HIRE ASK for 2008 for your Publication in a Column called: ASK, THE EVENTOLOGIST ®.
4. TV, Radio & Webcasts: ASK shows you (and your Viewers, Audience and/or Listeners) how to conveniently SPLURGE with $100; $1000, $10,000 & $1,000,000 in your Town. This Art & Act is not hard to do!
5. National Splurge Day ©1994 has been condensed into a 16-page Children’s Book, suitable for ages 3-8 in order for them to be properly introduced to the Eventological Style of Living Life in the 21ST Century. That Equation focuses on a healthier and wiser Outlook, instilling the Eight (8) Virtues that ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith inspires in others and promotes under the Auspices of:

From The Creator of HUG A G.I. DAY ©1996
HUG A G.I. DAY ©1996 slated annually for March 4
Celebrating its 13TH Year in 2008
They risk their Lives and Limbs for our Freedoms. Sometimes they lose both. This multi-level HOLIDATE employs the Act & Art of Writing and Visiting Veteran Hospitals. Activities are encouraged to be undertaken by those heading Synagogues, Churches & Schools to thereby salute our Military Branches today of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine and Navy. Combative Military Units are defending our Freedoms every Day across The World. Today (on the 62ND or 63RD Day of the Year, considering the Presence or Absence of Leap Year Day) they are saluted in a congenial way to lift their Spirits.
According to KOOPERSMITH, March 4TH is the only Date in Calendrical Time that is a Military Command as in ‘march forth.’ Technically at 3:04 AM and again at 3:04 PM, a Moment of Silence is observed for those who have lost their Lives in Battles, Conflicts and Wars and to remember those still in a defensive mode. The Traditional Events of Memorial Day, The 4TH of July, Labor Day and Veteran’s Day prevail, but ASK’s HUG A G.I. DAY ©1996 may be the most resplendid HOLIDATE ever invented as it gracefully stands on its own Merits and leads in Popularity in ASK’s Top Ten HOLIDATES.
Apart from any other popular Event, Civilians (of all Ages) can fully commemorate HUG A G.I. DAY ©1996 without leaving home by showing that they care in a wide variety of clever ways. Learning the important Lesson of Self-Sacrifice enforces this HOLIDATE’s lifelong Experience.
TV, RADIO, WEBCASTS, PUBLICATION & STORY IDEAS:
1. ASK (as a Contributor to your Publication) will scour her HUG A G.I. DAY ©1996 book and explain to your Readers how to PROPERLY celebrate this lively HOLIDATE that thoughtfully salutes our Military Personnel.
2. Assign one of your Senior Staff Writers to interview ASK regarding the 5W’s of Journalism and how she created this unique Event, now in its 13TH year.
3. By the same Token, you may wish to HIRE ASK for 2008 for your Publication in a Column called: ASK, THE EVENTOLOGIST ®.
4. For TV/Radio & Webcasts: Produce a Segment where ASK salutes Soldiers globally, bringing into the Studio some of our Men & Women serving in The Military who are home on leave. A huge Card can be set up in the Foyer/Lobby of the respective TV/Radio Station where ASK is holding and hosting this day-long Event. Later, this Card (with attached Photos and Messages) will be sent to Military Barracks after fully signed.
5. Invite ASK to read to your Classes and/or Social Clubs Excerpts of her 2006 HUG A G.I. Day ©1996 Book -- marking it's 10TH Year Eventological Anniversary.

From The Creator of VICE PRESIDENTS’ DAY ©1995
VICE PRESIDENTS’ DAY ©1995 slated annually for February 19
Celebrating its 14TH Year in 2008
First (on the Chronological Scales of Time), there’s President’s Day. (INSERT: If you work, it’s a Februarian Day off with Pay, a full-fledged 3-Day Weekend, minus U.S. Mail and Bill Delivery). Presidents’ Day ranks as a Traditional Holiday, non-Koopersmithian in nature, style or format.
Then, the Day thereafter, the Fun begins. According to ASK’s Eventological Formula, it is proclaimed as: Vice Presidents’ Day ©1995, following suit (regardless of ‘Hierarchy’) to all governmental Rules & Regulations. After all, what’s good for The President is acceptable and do-able for The Vice President. What’s good for The Goose is great for The Gander as Ancient Proverbs inscribe that goosy Fact. Let’s give Everyone and Everything their rightful Due during the Course of the Year.
Always scheduled on The Day after Presidents’ Day, this KOOPERSMITHIAN HOLIDATE tributes and attributes Vice Presidents everywhere – not only in Government and Politics but in high-powered Businesses & Trades across Corporate America (North & South), Europe, Africa, the Far East and wherever Presidents of Vice prevail. A Petition is now circulating whereby President’s Day and ASK’s Vice President’s Day ©1995 are permanently bonded making and legitimizing the First full 4-Day Weekend in US History (which will probably follow suit across The Globe).
Then, if you work, it’s another Day off with Pay, a full-fledged 4-Day Deluxe Weekend, minus U.S. Mail and Bill Delivery. You still may have to ‘pay the Meter’ unless you’re an upright Citizen abiding by the fully Green Statues of biking, rollerblading or strolling to work (instead). How sweet is that eventful, non-traditional Addition to Holidaydom?
Time will only tell.
Sign the Petition.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned for more Eventological Updates.
TV, RADIO, WEBCASTS, PUBLICATION & STORY IDEAS:
1. For TV/Radio & Webcasts: Invite Vice Presidents of various Groups (from corporate to non-profits) as Guests and/or Audience Participants. With ASK as an Interviewer for this Segment, in order to add some subtle Humor to the Situation, these VPs are allowed to air ‘The(ir) Vice and Advice’ before it hits the Nightly News.
2. ASK (as a Contributor to your Publication) writes an Article on famous Vice Presidents throughout History about their Motives & Styles and the Differences they made to Culture. Explore what they did in their Secondary Capacity which discusses the Honors of Vice Presidencies. To add an Ounce of Comedy, a Section can be utilized where they are allowed to air ‘The(ir) Vice and Advice.’
3. Assign one of your Senior Staff Writers to interview ASK regarding the 5W’s of Journalism and how she created this unique Event, now in its 14TH year.
4. By the same token, you may wish to HIRE ASK for 2008 for your Publication in a Column called: ASK, THE EVENTOLOGIST ®.
5. Vice Presidents' Day ©1995 has been condensed into a 16-page Children’s Book, suitable for ages 3-8 in order for them to be properly introduced to the Eventological Style of Living Life in the 21ST Century.

An Assortment of Chicago Talent (Illustrators, Fine Artists, Water Colorists, Graphic Artists, Computer Graphic Artists and Cartoonists, as well as using ASK’s own Photographs) have been employed to illustrate said HOLIDATE ® according to Koopersmith’s specific Instructions. An astute Book Publisher (preferably from New York City) who has been in the Book Industry for 50+ years is currently being sought to distribute this poignant Series.

Celebrating its 14TH Year in 2008
First (on the Chronological Scales of Time), there’s President’s Day. (INSERT: If you work, it’s a Februarian Day off with Pay, a full-fledged 3-Day Weekend, minus U.S. Mail and Bill Delivery). Presidents’ Day ranks as a Traditional Holiday, non-Koopersmithian in nature, style or format.
Then, the Day thereafter, the Fun begins. According to ASK’s Eventological Formula, it is proclaimed as: Vice Presidents’ Day ©1995, following suit (regardless of ‘Hierarchy’) to all governmental Rules & Regulations. After all, what’s good for The President is acceptable and do-able for The Vice President. What’s good for The Goose is great for The Gander as Ancient Proverbs inscribe that goosy Fact. Let’s give Everyone and Everything their rightful Due during the Course of the Year.
Always scheduled on The Day after Presidents’ Day, this KOOPERSMITHIAN HOLIDATE tributes and attributes Vice Presidents everywhere – not only in Government and Politics but in high-powered Businesses & Trades across Corporate America (North & South), Europe, Africa, the Far East and wherever Presidents of Vice prevail. A Petition is now circulating whereby President’s Day and ASK’s Vice President’s Day ©1995 are permanently bonded making and legitimizing the First full 4-Day Weekend in US History (which will probably follow suit across The Globe).
Then, if you work, it’s another Day off with Pay, a full-fledged 4-Day Deluxe Weekend, minus U.S. Mail and Bill Delivery.

From The Creator of PAY-A-COMPLIMENT DAY ©1995
PAY-A-COMPLIMENT DAY ©1995
slated annually for February 6
Celebrating its 14TH Year in 2008
“How did you ever think up that HOLIDATE?” is what hundreds of curious People have asked Ms. Koopersmith since she began this Goodwill Event nearly 14 years ago.” Adrienne begins: “I was in the right place at the right time when the Inspiration struck me. Would you like to hear the Story – the Eventological Formula? It’s quite easy to understand. It’s almost a Fable. I had boarded a CTA Bus #155 in my neighborhood early one morning. Bus drivers are told to only pick up riders at the designated stops although some People will run after a bus, as if in trying to hail a Taxi. This was the case. A Woman was half-a-block away from the Stop when the Bus rolled on past. The wind chill index was nearly zero; it was a bitterly, blustery February Day, the kind Chicago is well-known for. That’s why we’re thrilled February is a short month! The Bus Driver saw this frantic woman waving from his peripheral vision. I was already on board and watching the ‘Action.’ He immediately stopped the Bus and pulled over so she could hop-on-board. Delighted he had seen her (in stress), she ran to the Bus that had pulled over, boarded and thanked the driver profusely. This rare act(ion)saved her both time and waiting a spell in the severe cold. Who knows what she was hurrying off to. Perhaps a sick child in a hospital or another emergency? We will never know but can assume. Thinking of all the possibilities, when I got to my Stop and exiting the vehicle, I merely commented to the Bus Driver:
“I’m going to pay you a Compliment. Here it comes: 'That was really nice of you to stop for that Woman. A really decent thing to do...'”
He listened as he slowed the bus down and seemed genuinely pleased that I had witnessed that random Gesture of Kindness. later that day when in my Studio, that Episode then became the Basis for this HOLIDATE: PAY-A-COMPLIMENT DAY ©1995. The CTA Bus Driver's unselfish Act also warmed the Remainder of My Day and therefore, it’s now eventologically fixed to warm all other subsequent February Sixes.
WORKING DYNAMICS OF PAY-A-COMPLIMENT DAY ©1995: Only genuine and soulful Compliments are to be made Today. Nothing should be premeditated although thinking of how to compliment our Family Members, Lovers, Neighbors, Co-Workers or even a Stranger-on-the-Street is highly recommended. When a sincere Compliment comes straight from the Heart and a Glance is exchanged from a well-meaning and well-intentioned Person – when it comes from out-of-nowhere and is least expected, said Compliment is borne from a Special Place and arrives as a Total Surprise. That Action alone registers the Statement as a bona fide Compliment.
In the Coldth of Winter (here in The Northern Hemisphere), what could be finer than that? “What better way is there to warm up the Frigid Climes of early February than by PAC (Paying-A-Compliment)?” ADRIENNE asks. “FYI,” She adds: “PAY-A-COMPLIMENT DAY ©1995 is celebrated on August 8TH in the Southern Hemisphere.”
TV, RADIO, WEBCASTS, PUBLICATION & STORY IDEAS:

This Effort is then used for Live Feeds and streaming Webcasts in order to spread the Goodwill Cheer to others who were not touched by a compliment on February 6.

From The Creator of LOST PENNY DAY ©1995
LOST PENNY DAY ©1995 slated annually for February 12
a/k/a: Pennies From Heaven Day ©1998
Celebrating its 14TH Year in 2008
You find them scattered about on the Streets. They are tossed into Coffee Cans and Shoe Boxes and left, if not forgotten. They do slightly help in paying escalating taxes. Surprisingly, enough of them do add up significantly over Time. Occurring on President Lincoln’s Birthday (who is one of only a few Presidents found on both a Coin & Paper Bill), ‘Honest Abe’ is ASK’s favorite President even if she had not lived and made Illinois her permanent Residence. “Mr. Lincoln’s Character deserved to be immortalized in the Passages of Eventology ® per ASK’s Iconoclastic Techniques” as is found in The Pages of the Premier LOST PENNY DAY ©1995 Book.
Original Thoughts and Writings on said HOLIDATE revealed that LOST PENNY DAY ©1995 was a Time to collect Pennies (year-round) and then to donate said Sta$h to a worthy Institution on February 12TH – Lincoln’s Birthday. After all, to a growing Segment of the Population (that was once the Middle Class), it’s easier to give a few Cents away than a Fin (slang for a Five Dollar Bill which Abraham Lincoln also graces).
Today (with Times being as trying, meager and non-supplemental as they are), those Pennies can be carefully saved and then put to better usage by purchasing a winning Lottery Ticket or an Item that may be on $ale at Resale Outlets & Posts. Other Proposals in the earliest of LOST PENNY DAY ©1995 Documentation foretold that Collections of those Lost Pennies should be given to The Charity of your Choice on February 12, honoring President Abraham Lincoln who is pictured on this Copper Coin.
“After all,” according to KOOPERSMITH: “When a Penny is found, it is no longer lost. Put it towards a Great Cause and the Spiritual Aspect (the 6TH of 8 Virtues) of EVENTOLOGY ® is revealed.” As President Lincoln’s 200TH Birthday draws near in February of 2009, stay tuned for more Eventological Festivities that ASK will be participating in penny-by-penny for that Gala. President Abe Lincoln was contacted in February of 1999 (for the 5TH Year Eventological Anniversary of (t)his HOLIDATE. No Voice was heard during this Séance but an Apparition appeared wearing a Stove Pipe Hat and full Beard Regalia (one of Mr. Lincoln’s later Styles of Dress), smiled and then left the Room, swinging the Door closed.
TV, RADIO, WEBCASTS, PUBLICATION & STORY IDEAS:
1. Lincoln’s 200TH Birthday takes place in February, 2009. With ASK as an Interviewer, contact the Experts at the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission in Washington, DC to discuss their Preparations for this colossal, once-in-a-lifetime Anniversary and obtain their Insights as to the Merits of how ‘Petty Change can make an astounding Difference,’ coin-by-coin.
2. Assign one of your Senior Staff Writers to interview ASK regarding the 5W’s of Journalism and how she created this unique Event, now in its 14TH year.
3. By the same Token, you may wish to HIRE ASK for 2008 for your Publication in a Column called: ASK, THE EVENTOLOGIST ®.
4. With The Bicentennial Anniversary of Lincoln's Birthday coming up shortly, the Emphasis of all Media should focus (from February, 2008 - December, 2000) be on how the Common Man (Woman and Child) follow in the footsteps of this unrivaled Person who made his indelible mark in extraordinary Ways and at a harrowing time when civility was not to be reckoned with; when Life was bleak, depressing and difficult; while wars were fought on American Turf and his own Personal Demons needed to be confronted without the Medical Advancements we have available to date.
5. Lost Penny Day ©1995 has been condensed into a 16-page Children’s Book, suitable for ages 3-8 in order for them to be properly introduced to the Eventological Style of Living Life in the 21ST Century.

Original Thoughts and Writings on said HOLIDATE revealed that LOST PENNY DAY ©1995 was a Time to collect Pennies (year-round) and then to donate said Sta$h to a worthy Institution on February 12TH – Lincoln’s Birthday. After all, to a growing Segment of the Population (that was once the Middle Class), it’s easier to give a few Cents away than a Fin (slang for a Five Dollar Bill which Abraham Lincoln also graces).
Today (with Times being as trying, meager and non-supplemental as they are), those Pennies can be carefully saved and then put to better usage by purchasing a winning Lottery Ticket or an Item that may be on $ale at Resale Outlets & Posts. Other Proposals in the earliest of LOST PENNY DAY ©1995 Documentation foretold that Collections of those Lost Pennies should be given to The Charity of your Choice on February 12, honoring President Abraham Lincoln who is pictured on this Copper Coin.
“After all,” according to KOOPERSMITH: “When a Penny is found, it is no longer lost. Put it towards a Great Cause and the Spiritual Aspect (the 6TH of 8 Virtues) of EVENTOLOGY ® is revealed.” As President Lincoln’s 200TH Birthday draws near in February of 2009, stay tuned for more Eventological Festivities that ASK will be participating in penny-by-penny for that Gala. President Abe Lincoln was contacted in February of 1999 (for the 5TH Year Eventological Anniversary of (t)his HOLIDATE. No Voice was heard during this Séance but an Apparition appeared wearing a Stove Pipe Hat and full Beard Regalia (one of Mr. Lincoln’s later Styles of Dress), smiled and then left the Room, swinging the Door closed.
TV, RADIO, WEBCASTS, PUBLICATION & STORY IDEAS:
1. Lincoln’s 200TH Birthday takes place in February, 2009. With ASK as an Interviewer, contact the Experts at the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission in Washington, DC to discuss their Preparations for this colossal, once-in-a-lifetime Anniversary and obtain their Insights as to the Merits of how ‘Petty Change can make an astounding Difference,’ coin-by-coin.
2. Assign one of your Senior Staff Writers to interview ASK regarding the 5W’s of Journalism and how she created this unique Event, now in its 14TH year.
3. By the same Token, you may wish to HIRE ASK for 2008 for your Publication in a Column called: ASK, THE EVENTOLOGIST ®.
4. With The Bicentennial Anniversary of Lincoln's Birthday coming up shortly, the Emphasis of all Media should focus (from February, 2008 - December, 2000) be on how the Common Man (Woman and Child) follow in the footsteps of this unrivaled Person who made his indelible mark in extraordinary Ways and at a harrowing time when civility was not to be reckoned with; when Life was bleak, depressing and difficult; while wars were fought on American Turf and his own Personal Demons needed to be confronted without the Medical Advancements we have available to date.
5. Lost Penny Day ©1995 has been condensed into a 16-page Children’s Book, suitable for ages 3-8 in order for them to be properly introduced to the Eventological Style of Living Life in the 21ST Century. That Equation focuses on a healthier and wiser Outlook, instilling the Eight (8) Virtues that ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith inspires in others and promotes under the Auspices of:

From The Creator of International Thank You Days ©1994 (5/6/8)
Far different from the traditional & commercialized Thanksgiving celebrated by Americans in late November, ASK’s International Thank You Days ©1994 (5/6/8) is an 8-Day Period in which to THANK PEOPLE from your Life, Past and Present for Kindnesses, Favors, Gestures & Generosities they have bestowed and granted you. These can be People you have lost contact with, but found in any Myriad of Ways or People you may have taken for granted (temporarily) but wish to finally THANK.
In Koopersmith’s Official ITYD Book, she has systematically compiled a List of Service People that salutes a certain Segment of Society on each Day of this 8-Day Period. The best Two Words to use while traveling through Life are “THANK YOU.” Adrienne explains: “This HOLIDATE was penned in honor of my Kindergarten Teacher, Miss Lucille Fritz, who not only taught my Father, Self, Brother & Sister the Things all 5 year olds should know, but who was inspirational in giving me my First Set of Crayons & Paper (aside from MOM, that is) in My Personal Quest (The MPQ Factor) to be The Best Creative Self that I can be (circa September of 1957 when I first left home and entered Kindergarten at Blackstone Grade School in Mendota, IL, a small farming community 100 miles SW of Chicago).”
ASK relays: “Miss Fritz has been gone for a long time, but never ever forgotten with each Piece of Paper I turn and Writing Instrument I pick up. She’s the ‘First Outsider I ever met who cared.’ We all have a Miss Fritz in our Lives.” At a Séance conjured up for Miss Fritz’s Take & Opinion on this HOLIDATE, the Spirit of Miss Fritz began to weep. Adrienne reminded her of the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies with the White Sprinkles of Powdered Sugar her Mother, Mrs. Betty Friend Koopersmith made and shared with her Class so long ago. At that pivotal point, Miss Fritz broke into a hardy laugh and thanked ASK for the heart-felt Dedication of this astounding 8-Day Celebration that indelibly is one of Pop Culture’s Best.

From The Creator of National Smith Day ©1995
National Smith Day ©1995 slated annually for January 6
Celebrating its 14TH Year in 2008
National Smith Day ©1995 was merely created as an intensive Means for me to easily trace my Ancestry (back) in order to locate other long, lost Relatives who may have dropped either the ‘KOOPER’ or the ‘SMITH’ in the Surname of: Koopersmith (which is my Last Name) when entering the USA in the early 1900s. While researching this common Phenomenon & Practice that destroys (a) Family’s Legacy (of Origins), I actually found and decided to put this Event on the Birth Date of the First Individual responsible for the Americanization & Assimilation of the United States, Captain John Smith, the English Colonial Leader who settled Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 thereby bringing so many People to our Shores (no matter what their Names were).
Wednesday, January 6, 1580 was his Birth Date, therefore, this HOLIDATE is appropriately dedicated to Captain Smith and the Efforts he set forth, post morten. And, also because of this KOOPERSMITHIAN Event (that was successfully launched in 1995), The General Population is exploring their own Genealogy and Name-Sakes and finding there’s nothing quite like tracing their Ancestry back…way back…in order to get in touch with their Real Roots and Heritage. Educational, Fun and a Learning Experience all rolled into one, ASK’s National Smith Day ©1995 is for those bona fide Smiths or Smith Wannabe’s.
This multi-faceted HOLIDATE also stresses the great Importance of ASKing (y)our Grandparents Questions about their Youth, Philosophies and Viewpoints while We are still blessed by having them with us. The Smithhood Standard remains as this: During a Séance held on Thursday, January 6, 1999 (upon the HOLIDATE’s 5TH Commemoration), Captain Smith was ‘called back from Beyond’ and in a Spontaneous Meeting discussed with ADRIENNE the Plethora of SMITHS (in Name and Occupation both) who have (at their Root) on other derivative Names as: Koopersmith, Coppersmith, Metalsmith, Goldsmith, Arrowsmith, Silversmith, etc. as Smith is the most Common Surname in the English Language.
Because of the Popularity of NATIONAL SMITH DAY ©1995, KOOPERSMITH has been asked by Fans to ‘expand this HOLIDATE.’ Currently, she is writing THE SMITH-O-PEDIA ® that objectively outlines The Dogma of NATIONAL SMITH DAY ©1995 on a wider perspective and those Subjects (as her Relatives) who have smithified ® the World. Her Card & Board Game entitled: NAME THAT SMITH ©1995-2007 will be released in early Spring, 2008.
THE OFFICIAL UNVEILING: For 2008, the First SOTY: Smith Of The Year ® Award is presented to Ms. Sheryl Andrea Smith of Solutions and Strategies (located in Chicago) who has spent 2 intensive Decades traveling and working across the World in the Capacity of Peacemaker & Conflict Management Mediator/Negotiator. To seek Ms. Smith’s Services or to interview her, email her directly at: solutionsandstrategies@yahoo.com after you have visited her Website at: http://www.solutionsandstrategies.com/id4.html
For those individuals who wish to be kept apprised of other top SMITHian Projects, Books, Endeavors throughout the upcoming year, break-throughs, accomplishments, etc., join Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith’s SMITH SYNDICATION SOCIETY ®. Membership is set at only $25.00 per Smith for 2008. “After all, it is a Brother-&-Sisterhood of Smiths,” ASK exclaims. Send your eMedia Releases to ASK at: askoopersmith@hotmail.com before the 3RD of each month. Your ‘News’ is then broadcast on the 6TH of every Month on her Blog, KOOPERSMITHin’ ®.
TV, RADIO, WEBCASTS, PUBLICATION & STORY IDEAS:
1. ASK to contribute an Article on VIS: Very Important Smiths in your Area and how this unique HOLIDATE ‘makes a staggering Difference’ and furthermore explores the Educational Angle by adding significantly to a School’s Curriculum.
2. Assign one of your Senior Staff Writers to interview ASK regarding the 5W’s of Journalism and how she created this unique Event, now in its 14TH year.
3. By the same Token, you may wish to HIRE ASK for 2008 for your Publication in a Column called: ASK, THE EVENTOLOGIST ®.
4. Give a Gift to all those in your Studio Audience (for TV Stations or Listeners, if Radio ) on this HOLIDATE who are Smiths via their IDs or any Derivative of this Name according to ASK’s Explanation of National Smith Day ©1995. Perhaps an all-expense Paid Trip to a Smith-Town/Ville/Burg (of which there are several across the Continental USA) could be the Grand Prize.

When Friendship outlasts the Test of Time
The Zoey Effect launches Chicago's Top Artistic Talent
At the end of the year, We often think of kicking ourselves. “IF ONLY” is the lament. But since each Day proves to be a New Beginning and Fresh Start, sometimes LATER is SOONER than We think on our Agendas. With that Thought in the Forethought of my Mind, One Practice I should have begun doing since Kindergarten Days circa 1957 is to keep better track of People I had met. All it would have taken is a notebook of paper. Especially so in my later teen years when I began to socialize more and ‘Make The Scene’ which ranged from Fashion to Music to Civic to Scholastic Circles. That way, I could have kept better Tabs on everyone who had given me their Cards.
Of course, back then (from 1965-1971) when I was somewhere close to or between 13-19, I really had no Thought of the importance of keeping business cards or numbers scratched out on a scrap of paper for future business endeavors. I had my select Circle of Friends and that ‘was it.’ We also didn’t have the Internet in which to keep in communicato much better than by mailing off a letter, postcard or yearly Holiday Wish. Today, with all those Modern Conveniences set in place as well as tele-cell-phones and delivery trucks & planes that deliver your VO: Valued Opinions within a few days, staying in contact and in-touch is easier than ever before. You don’t even need to leave home to do it. You have NO excuse.
Not only that, anyone can become an instant Sleuth or Sherlock and locate People from an earlier time, age and era. There are many more FOUNDS than LOSTS these days due to the Wonders of High Technology.
FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL: Breaking that Bad & Nasty Habit today may be the start of something much bigger and better in My Life. Since BLOGS give Individuals (of all Writing & Spelling Levels and Degrees) the Opportunity to communicate and connect with:
their Loved Ones;
Others they don’t know that well; and
even still Others who are rather unbeknownst to them who may be living worlds apart,
Kevin Bacon’s 6 Degrees of Separation should be at the 1.5-2 Mark by the Close of the Year. His Formula somehow has always amazed and amused me since he first set it loose.
As a Spin-Off of my First Blog, Chicagology 101 ® which ran on Winnipeg’s Hotels by City’s Website from January-May, 2007, promoting People (who deserve to be known and renown) has always been Centerfield in my Mind. Needless to say, Chicago is full of Great Talents in every Art that needs to be granted more Exposure than they (many times unfortunately) do not receive.
What could be better than to do this on the Date in which a very Dear & Precious Friend and major Music Talent, ZOEY (Buckley) appeared in my eMail Box? The last Time I heard or saw Zoey was in July of 1988. This Morning as I retrieved my Email, there was a Note from her! 19 years later, she still remembered! Thanks to the Internet and I would presume Google is where she found me – alive, well, playing and blogging in Chicago – although she moved Time Zones away back during the 1900s.
CALL IT THE ‘ZOEY EFFECT’:
Therefore, for those of you who think SAVING CONTACT INFO is a great idea and not actually replete with Nuances and Overtones of Clutter, Disorganization or Pack-Rattedness, by all means begin to categorize your Network. Furthermore, tell your younger Friends, Daughters, Sons, Nieces and Nephews to keep those Cards, Phone Numbers and eMail Addresses in a sound and safe spot. After all, We’re all just an Enote away and you never know who is thinking about you…How nice is that. As nice as can be if you “ASK” me…
NOW: In my particular Breakdown of “Who’s Who” that I want to keep up with, I have my Categories broken into:
Personal, Business & Artists-You-Should-Know.
Being and having an in-depth Knowledge and feel for THE FINE & LIVELY ARTS, I know how to spot gifted Talent a mile away with 1 eye closed; the other one asleep.
In my initial Launch today of:
‘PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW ARTISTIC PEOPLE’
are 3 Chicago-based Artists whose Talents are universally appealing. Unfortunately, I did not begin collecting and saving their Names when I first entered the Art World in 1971 and attended my First Art Reception. If so, my List would (most likely) contain an infinite number of all-time Greats that span the World.
