ASK's BIKE-O-WEEN ®: There's no other 'Weigh' to say it...

and to collect Candy than to BIKE around The Hood.

Today is Halloween, a Time when Sweets get in the 'weigh' of our better Health Habits. But there is a healthier 'Weigh' to combat 'the Battle of the Bulges' and that is to BIKE. By making Biking a Regular Part of your Day -- it's not only a wise way to save Money on escalating gas bills (for home and vehicles both), but it can help you shed unwanted pounds -- like Water Droplets rolling off a Duck's Snout. Simultaneously, it eliminates The GUILT that develops when overeating and snacking too heavily become The Norm.

CASE IN POINT: A FEMME FACT that can't be denied:

As a vital Counterpoint of the Bike Brigade, I've been peddling day-in and day-out throughout the metropolitan Chicago Area since Tuesday, February 25, 1997 and have taken over 4 inches of Baby Fat (ie: FLAB) has dissolved.

As of yesterday -- around 7:15 PM in Front of Calvary Cemetery's Gate, I attained 1200 Miles -- all on my newest Bike that was purchased on Memorial Day, Monday, May 29, 2008. That's approximately 8-10 miles daily. Do you want to make yourself feel and look good? Decide if you want your Day to be a Trick or a Treat. By choosing to exercise Today (as well as every Day),

BIKE-O-WEEN ®

begins to help you 'take shape.'

Feel free to share your Bike Adventures here on KOOPERSMITHin and/or write to me...for more Details on 'weighing' in on The Art & Act of Eating successfully for Biking and vica versa. Biking successfully through the Foods you consume is one healthy Habit that you'll enjoy and will work throughout your Life.

Saluting: Peanut Butter, The Comfort Food of The Masses

Chicago, IL USA:

“Peanut Butter: It’s more than a Peanut-in-a-Shell,
it’s an Experience.”

ASK Quote
Founder of PBJ: Peanut Butter & Jelly Day ©1995
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 – 2:57 PM CST

REASONING: Now, more than ever before so many People have Allergies and are sensitive to Peanuts. This Reaction is just horrible because they cannot enjoy the Instant Gratification We PEANUT Consumers, Eaters and Fans immediately enjoy once devouring a Teaspoon full (or more) of Peanut Butter, melt in our mouths. OK, I’ll admit it, who can eat just a Teaspoon-filled with PB? I know I cannot. The Knowledge of knowing that Peanut Butter is enriched with Protein makes me feel good, but I’ll be honest with you, it’s the Taste of Peanut Butter that gets my 'Groove On and Motor Running.' I immediately endorse that the Enzyme, Follicle or Problem People have in digesting or interpreting Peanut Butter should be found and eradicated. They do NXT know what they are missing. A Day without Peanut Butter is like a Day without Florida Sunshine – so sez Miss Anita Bryant & the Growers of Florida Oranges who’ve approved those colorfully Orange Juice Commercials and Advertisements in the sunny Southeast. For those who are able to have and eat their Peanut Butter (too), PB is a very tasty, economic, easy-to-use and universally tasty Element that satisfies the primal Taste Buds and provides Daily Nourishment. It is tote-able. It can be taken in its Jar; or spread between Bread, Crackers, Fruit, etc. It can be the Foundation of Cakes & Cookies; Sandwiches and used as a Topping or Spread. The Versatility of Peanut Butter makes it an automatic Delight. Even spread between the ‘’Sides’ of a Stalk of Celery with some delicious sun-kissed Raisins added (to appear as parading Ants), this Kids’ Snack is satisfying and nutritious. Peanut Butter is perhaps the only Food that doesn’t need rigorous Preparation. Therefore, Peanut Butter is a Mama’s Little Helper by being a Time-Saver. Even with a Little Preparation & some finishing Touches, PB is launched into its very own Domain – one that can turn a Snack into a Party, and a Party into an Event that is remembered, cheered and cherished. A Dollop of Peanut Butter satisfies a Sweet Tooth. Peanut Butter stands on its own. Hail! Hail! The Peanut for no other 21ST Nut is as delicious as the one We attribute to America’s Favorite Sandwich, the Peanut Butter & Jelly Duet. I am also the Creator of PB&J Day ©1995 only because I have been eating those Sandwiches for over 50 Years and feel they deserve to have their very own HOLIDATE TO CELEBRATE. Caviar? Lobster? Crème du Crème du Jour. Nope, those Delicacies are just not for me. Give me a Jar of Peanut Butter any Day, at any Hour and you’ve made a F4L: Friend 4 Life. An Affinity for Peanut Butter keeps my Shelves stocked with PB for the last 34 years I’ve been ‘on my own’ – on my own with my Peanut Butter."

An AFSEE Moment: Ageless-In-Chicago. Turning 80. The Ultimate Present

Chicago, IL. My Dear Mother turned 80 years old yesterday. I asked her what she got herself as a Present, reminiscent of a truly vulgar Quote my Father made to her when she turned 40 on October 24, 1968.

He had said: "I'm going to trade you in for two 20's."

Crude Comments like that are something that are never forgotten, but they can be modified or ADRIENNE-ized as I like to call it to ease the pain and find some semblance of Humor. Comedy is all within the Flip of a Coin.

Therefore, when I emailed Mother earlier this morning, I asked (which are my G-d Given Initials anyway and the ones she gave me 56 years ago):

"Mom, did you get 2 40's or 4 20 year olds?"

She would know exactly what I meant!

Now, I sent her that note about 20 minutes ago. For her age, she is extremely cool. She has been online for 10 years now, always keeping up with modern technology, fashion and health.

The Reason I've not heard from her is that she is probably sitting there "busting a gut" as that comment was so funny. Or...it may very well be 'the OR...' Let's hope so!

REVERSING THE TABLE: Oh, how do I plan on celebrating my 80TH Birthday which will be happening in 24 more years -- circa August 9, 2032...

By 4 20's, of course. And they'll be born (of course - if I am doing the MATH WRITE) in 2012.

Now, that's an AFSEE Moment for you! After all, how do YOU spell:

I-R-R-E-S-I-S-T-I-B-L-E-?

Koopersmith's Great American Warm-Up #14: 2 Weeks and counting.

Chicago, IL USA:

As of today, there are only 2 weeks until my GREAT AMERICAN WARM-UP ©1995, one of more popular HOLIDATES takes place, clear across America for those who truly CARE. For those who are unaware of its purpose, it's very simple because Simplicity is Best and easier to carry out.

PURPOSE: Before the Winter officially sets in on December 21, take the time to clean-out your Closets, Drawers, Attics, Basements, Bureaus and under-the-bed (too) for (m)any Items you are no longer wearing. Folks, that means lifting items-off-Floors and reaching high-up on dusty Shelves. This Gear can range from coats to jackets to sweaters to socks to leg warmers to boots to scarves to hats to caps to insulated vests to long underwear.

THE EVENTOLOGICAL EXPLANATION BY ASK:

This Weekend (known as a Floating Holidate in (the Art & Act of) Eventology) is marked as the Hottest Month (in the Northern Hemisphere) - particularly the USA, even though Temperatures many times do not rise above 40 degrees. In accordance with my Meteorologic Logic, although Global Warming is at the other End of the Spectrum, November (also spelled as: NovemBURR) signals the beginning of shorter Days, a looming and long Cold Winter Season, Isolation and dismal days, where Life is rough & brutal. Many People become depressed because of the lack of sun and the aforementioned symptoms of what Winter symbolizes. Not everyone is a Snow-Bunny, Skier or Winter Advocate. But all this can be changed and The Change will have outstanding Benefits for all those who participate.

CHANGING PLACES NOW: THE 'IF' SYNDROME

However, it is much sadder IF you're cold during the Winter.

IF you are Homeless and do not have the proper clothing.

IF you are Poor and cannot afford a Winter Wear & Garb (ie: the proper Attire). Albeit, this does not evaluate the Consequences of GW: Global Warming although it does make a signficant change in our Climate. We are merely planning on keeping Others warm throughout The Winter Months in your Region.

By the same token, IF you are privileged to GIVE, I highly urge you to take the time to participate in:

THE GREAT AMERICAN WARM-Up ©1995 - #14 as of November, 2008.

Therefore, it's a given We Fortunate Ones have The Opportunity to give and give BIG, not alot, necessarily but out of the Goodness and Kindness of our Hearts.

Slated for November 8-9-10 (Friday - Saturday - Sunday)

The GREAT AMERICAN WARM-UP ©1995 (known as: GAWU) is the ideal Period to clean out those ABC: Attics, Bins & Closets and deliver (an Assortment of) Warm Clothes to homeless shelters, salvation army posts, shelters, etc. so that those needier-than-you can have something substantial and warm to wear when the Weather becomes severe.

Adrienne begins: "I launched this HOLIDATE in 1995 as an Act of Pure Kindness Americans of every Creed & Color can all participate in. Whether We give by donating a Pair of Mittens, a Wool Coat or a Plaid Scarf, it is an Article of Clothing that was delivered to Someone who just was not able to obtain it on his/her own. With an ailing Economy that is spinning out of control, even the most common of items are sometimes unattainable. This is (y)our Way of 'Giving Back.'"

The GAWU is a Cleansing - it's a Blessing. Who could "ASK" for more, especially when you never know what's in store...and behind that closet door!

BACKGROUND INFO:
Eventology is a Literary Style + System in hosts 1,700 all-original Holidates have been formulated since Wedneday, July 25, 1990 @ 9:45 PM in order to make Life more livable, pleasing, satisfying, happy and beneficial to others and therefore, Our Selves. Falling into 39 distinct Categories, there is something for Everyone to probe and to participate in - with as many as 7-8 Holidates falling each Day. Because of its Immenseness, Scope and Popularity, ASK (Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith) has been labeled as:

Columbus Day: A very Far Cry from Life On Mars...WWCS: What Would Columbus Say?

Chicago, IL USA: In 1492, Columbus (Christopher) sailed the Ocean Blue...

Back then, the Ocean indeed was bluer than it is now. Oil spills and other man-made disturbances were virtually non-existent. If things did happen, they weren't recorded till after the onslaught of Gutenberg's Printing Press circa 1555 - a short time thereafter.

Sailing (from Genoa, Italy to The Americas) was a bit more treacherous as the Modern Devices of coursing the Weather was not activated. Food Preservation was not up to parr; Refrigeration had of yet to be invented. Then you had those sinistry Pirates (Hoodlums of the High Seas) who were main-streaming the ocean-ways as well in search of Loot & Bounty. It may have been safer to be boat-side than on-land as terrible outbreaks of Disease -- like the Black Death - or Black Plague was pandemic at that time, killing some 75,000,000 People. This is between 30-60% of Europe's Population. It would not have done you any good in the Old World if you were a foreigners, beggars or leper - as these were the first ones to be persecuted during the time of the Black Plague. It was like a Modern Day (1600-1700) Witch Hunt if we are to label their Situation.

Was Columbus a Hero or merely someone trying to save their skin from the unsavory Diseases as Bubonic Plague and Viruses that terrorized his unhealthy domain? No matter how Chris is remembered, he is immortalized and the Story has a happy Ending: 2008 is here. Like Columbus, We are Survivors.

Moreover, if it wasn't for those Historical Greats beating The Odds and setting their Sights on a new Course of Adventure, you would not be here reading this Blog. I would not be sitting here typing it up.

Columbus does deserve a Day...

And, so do cunning Merchandisers who see this as a Way to make $ from a flailing Economy. From Friday through Monday, massive Sales are underway commemorating Columbus Day. And to follow suit with Wikipedia:

"The uncertainty of daily survival created a general mood of morbidity, influencing people to 'live for the moment.'"

Amen. Some things never change. A case in point. Therefore, it's necessary to shop till you drop, because We don't know when the other shoe will fall, much like We had following the 9-11 Incident.

2008 minus 1492 is calculated as the Hard Math of 516 Years...a long time in which to delve into the Mysteries of Life in Columbus' Day. Not much is known about The Man himself, but his Legacy is intertwined with High Adventures on the Open Seas. His biggest Triumphs may be all the Cities named after him, in his Honor and, of course, the October Event - COLUMBUS Day that happens every year, most often with floats, parades and governmental offices being closed.

2008 marks the 516TH Columbus Day Celebratory Holiday here in The States when he arrived in America aboard the 3 Ships that we are all taught to memorize in Grade School: The Nina - the Pinta and the Santa Maria. According to Wikipedia, my online Source for Filling-In-The-Blanks (of my Memory from Grade School History Courses):

Christopher Columbus, a native of Genoa, donated one-tenth of his income from the discovery of the Americas for Spain to the Bank of San Giorgio in Genoa for the relief of taxation on foods.

My! Wasn't that generous of him; one point we never think of when we realize that Generosity knows no Time slots.

According to Wikipedia:

OBSERVING COLUMBUS DAY IN THE USA:

The first Columbus Day Celebration was held in 1792, when New York City celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World. In 1892, President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th anniversary of the event.

Some Italian-Americans observe Columbus Day as a celebration of their heritage, the first occasion being in New York City on October 12, 1866.^[1][2] Columbus Day was popularized as a holiday in the United States by a lawyer, a son of Genoese immigrants who came to California. During the 1850s, Genoese immigrants settled and built ranches along the Sierra Nevada foothills. As the gold ran out, these skilled "Cal-Italians", from the Apennines, were able to prosper as self-sufficient farmers in the Mediterranean climate of Northern California. San Francisco has the second oldest Columbus Day celebration, with Italians having commemorated it there since 1869.

This lawyer then moved to Colorado, which had a population of Genoese miners, and where, in 1907, the first state-wide celebration was held. In 1934, at the behest of the Knights of Columbus (a Catholic fraternal service organization named for the voyager), Congress and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt set aside Columbus Day, October 12, as a Federal holiday (36 USC 107, ch. 184, 48 Stat. 657).

Since 1971, the holiday has been commemorated in the U.S. on the second Monday in October, the same day as Thanksgiving in neighboring Canada. It is generally observed today by banks, the bond market, the U.S. Postal Service and other federal agencies, most state government offices, and many school districts; however, most businesses and stock exchanges remain open.

DOING MY PART: THE OFFICIAL EVENTOLOGICAL PROCLAMATION

Following suit as:

President Benjamin Harrison had in1892 when he called upon the People of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th anniversary of the event,

I as 'America's Premier Eventologist, so declare that We (as the People of the United States of America) should celebrate the 600TH Anniversary of Chris' Landing on:


October 13, in 2092 (the 2nd Monday of October).

By that time, our Eco-Woes will be gone and our Off-Spring will be looking forward to a New Century on the near Horizon. Different from today, but so-the-same in so many Instances. It's not too late to begin the Planning now.

And to you and yours: Happy Columbus Day. After all:

Life On Mars...Restoring Faith in my TV Set.

Chicago, IL USA: Reviewing Movies has always been left to those who work at a major newspaper but sometimes a blommentary - a Blog Commentary will have to suffice. Such is the way I feel about seeing (after months upon months of vomituous Reruns and Reality Series) Life on Mars that debuted last night, October 9, 2008.

Like millions, there were a few standards that stood out in my time:

#1: That was my hey-day. Although I claim 'each' Day as my 'Hey-Day,' 1973 was the year I became legal, of legal age: 21. That was momentous to we BabyBoomers.

#2: The Theme was incredibly clever. The Story Line about losing a loved one and thinking if only a few elements were changed, that that person could be 'retrieved' and returned to us has undoubtedly occurred to all of us...at some point in our Lifetime. It's just part of our IF ONLY Syndrome that we humans seem to suffer. After all, we are Spirits in Human Format for the time being.

#3: The Language of that other Era (before High Tech took over our Lives) was indisputably of a different Time and Place. I understood it. I laughed and new exactly what they were 'talking about.'

#4: The immense amount of Research that went into each Scene, Plot and Line that differentiated 1973 from 2008 was to be applauded.

#5: The shocking Conclusion is that for a Civilization (that acts uncivilized by the Wars it wages and the disgusting Acts we place our loved ones through...just listen to the nightly news -reels), we have indeed come a Long Ways.

The Topic Line of #5 has always intrigued me since Childhood. And, if you have moment I will tell you why. I could never understand how Cave Man lived in Caves without a refrigerator, indoor plumbing and apple pie to name only a few. I am sure you got my Drift. As I got older, matured and decided Comics and Cartoon Art 'said it all,' I developed a Cartoon Character in 1990 called:

CAVE MAN NEVER ©1990

that thru a Series of One-Line Zingers called: CAVE MAN NEVER-isms ® told us the Differences between living in Prehistoria compared to Living Life in Contemporanea. Granted this was the early 1990s before many of us got our First Computer. My first Computer was plugged in on November 1, 1994. I was online and emailable by November 19, 1995 at 3:53 PM...a date I'll never forget. Only because I had an ink-ling that Technology and not standing in line at the Post Office would certainly expedite my Life.

However, Cave Man had a Reign of a few Years in which people were intrigued by the Theory of Living Simpler and more simply. After all,

CAVE MAN NEVER had a toilet;
CAVE MAN NEVER had white-out;
CAVE MAN NEVER had a phone; let alone a cell phone;
CAVE MAN NEVER had marketable job skills...
CAVE MAN NEVER had too darn much…on a larger Scale. And, of course, CAVE MAN NEVER had a Scale (CAVE WOMAN DID!).

Needless to say, there were tens of thousands of more things (material objects - stuff and things to file or store) that CAVE MAN NEVER possessed. Yet he got along. He lived. He survived. Otherwise, we would not be here. As Technology picked up at faster speeds, it was impossible to keep track of all these One Liners. The Humorous Side of the CMN Theory, Strip and Series had done its Part;

it made its Point;
it taught us to Slow Down; and
it made us appreciate what We had and have in the NOW Moment.

Then along came, LIFE ON MARS and it verified everything I ever thought about The Concept of (Fleeting) Time, Invention, Humanity and how only One TV Program can restore Faith and Loyalty into the Halls of TV Clamour & Glamour. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Shows. I may even buy the Book and join its Fan Club for the latest Updates.

AS A CREATIF MYSELF: During my Creative Course with CAVE MAN in the early 1990s, I did plot Blocks of Time in(to) 50 year Segments, seeing how Man had evolved from the Limestone Caves to the Glass Condos we now inhabit.

Even thinking about Life in 1950 compared to Life in 1900 to Life in 1850 will educate as well as make you think of how far we've progressed. Then, take a look at our Amish Neighbors...Perspective is what it is all about...no matter what year we're experiencing. Living in the Past can be a gas. Having the Chance to experience it all -- like a giant Smorgasbord is what I personally prefer.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: I may have changed the Title a bit though since 'MARS' (as a term) reminds many Americans of John Grey's Book: Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, and that makes us think of the differences between the Sexes.

And, for the Millions upon Millions of us who will admit to LIVING THROUGH and SURVIVING 1973 (which could be a highly marketable T-Shirt in and of itself), We have to admit that that YEAR was more than a Battle of The Sexes - it was strewn in Politics, Economics and a Life that was entirely different from even 20 years prior.

Initially, I thought LIFE ON MARS was a Science Movie because The Planet has been in the forefront of The News the last few years.

However, for the most Part, remembering the Good Old Days (outside of Mayberry RFD with Ron Howard as Opie, Andy, Aunt Bee & Barney Fife) (especially in this tumultuous global economy where laughs don’t come too often now) gives us REASON TO BELIEVE that anything is possible.
It doesn’t get much better than that…

10-9-8: The Official Countdown to ASK's Pet Peeves Month: October 10 - November 10, 2008

Chicago, IL USA: Eventologically, it's the Month for Pet Peeves - not that anyone is really FOR Pet Peeves, but it's always healthy to get them 'out there in the open' so that the Frustration that they bring and wrought to each of us can be ironed out. Here in the Northern Hemisphere of North America - Chicago, precisely where my Eventological Headquarters is based, this is the best Possible Period:

From October 10 - November 10

because the Weather is changing. Many people in these Parts become complainers as the Weather - besides the Defects of Global Warming - for those who DO believe in its dire Consequences take AIM at how much snow will fall; how far the temperatures will drop and how many snow days will school officials call so that parents have to entertain their Kids while being at home. Bring on the Pet Peeves. The Time is ripe. We all have them.

Therefore, to jumpstart the PET PEEVE ROLL, I've decided to air mine. None (I should warn you) are political in nature since this is the Wind-Down of the Political Campaign in the USA and the start-up of a new Democracy, but Three (3) Pointers are peeving the Day Light and Moonlight out of me, 24/7. Those are:

PET PEEVE 1:
NBC TV Reporters have a terrible habit to break. When introduced by an in-station anchor, they begin their report by saying: "Well, Good Morning." Mr. Kerry Sanders who was stationed in Orlando, Florida said this just this morning. Kim Vadis (who is otherwise a sensational and thorough Reporter based in Chicago) has this Tendency upon each and every story that she opens with. Since Kim is a night owl - she gets most of the 'dreaded' stories to cover. A simple 'Good Morning' would suffice from both. There may be others that I haven't seen yet. Why they have to interject: WELL into a Greeting...is 'well' -- quite unclear to me.

AFTER-THOUGHT: There are NO wells about it. Morning is morning...only Artesians are concerned with well, not your viewers who want a concise story with no added 'throw-off' words'.

PET PEEVE 2):
Whether you're a Celebrant of Christmas or not; whether you plan on spending a large or decent amount of money on your 2008 Christmas Gifts or not (due to hard eco-times), there is no good reason except GREED why Retailers (at all levels) have their Christmas Items in the Stores in Mid-September. No real Christmas Spirit exists anymore...as it was in the 1800s when there was really nothing more to fear than Fear itself. It's been gone for some time. So, to squeeze out another nickel from a suffering Family is the most horrific Sale Tactic I have seen yet. With so many families losing their homes to foreclosures, where is the sympathy that should be extended to them? This VO: Valued Opinion is not to take into consideration all the Gifts that are returned after the Holiday beginning on December 26 known as Box Day (which is, by the way, not one of my Eventological Holidates). That, again is yet another 'facet' of PET PEEVE 2.

PET PEEVE 3:
Nebraska has a Safe Haven Law for Children who are in Crisis. Just this Week, entire Families are being dumped in The State with no Prosecution being extended towards their Parents. Although the reports say this is primarily enacted for Infants by teen mothers who cannot care for them. My Opinion (from a non-parent angle) is that this Law is absolutely terrific. Every State should have and uphold this Sanction. For stressed-out parents who have 'no other way out,' it is the best for the Abandoned Child. The Bottom Line has always been:

Some People should be parents.
Some people should not be parents.

Difficult situations happen that cannot be ironed out. For those who should not be Parents, they may find this out too late. Think of this Situation this way:

If the Opening News Story for the day opened with a title as:

"Distrought Father went BULLET-istic and wiped out his entire Family and took the Life of his Sleeping Wife (as well),

would We (as a community, block or neighborhood) not feel alot worse? Would We have felt as neighbors that We should have seen what was happening behind closed doors in their household? Most neighbors do feel this way.

Where there is Life, there is always a safe, peaceful and warm place for these Children to go. Let's not forget: The only reason a Child was born (in many sad instances) was that it was a Night of Drunken Sex. Nine Months later, there is an added Burden born into the World that sometimes, just cannot be handled by an infantile 'Parent' who is nearly as young as that newborn Babe. That's what the Media has called:

BABIES HAVING BABIES.

That Entity is called a CHILD. Child Abuse is something else. I prefer this new kind of anti-DUMPSTER Love to be enacted in each State of the Union. Instead of finding the Body of a Child (or Teen) even in a Dumpster, take him/her/them to a Safe Haven. It's probably the most sane act Family Welfare can do for those so afflicted.

IN CLOSING:

And, there you have it: My Top 3 PET PEEVES for 10-9-8:
The 10TH Month
The 9TH Day
The 2008 Year.

It's a matter of Opinion if we've become less civilized in our Ways the last Fifty (50) Years, but we certainly do have enough PET PEEVES derived from all the Choices We have (and We have to make, take or leave behind) to address before they develop into Real Problems as these.

“America’s Premier Eventologist ®” by Gene Koprowski,
Insight Magazine, Washington, DC, August 25, 1997

&

“The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World ®” by Eric Zorn,
The Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Illinois, January 23, 2001

ADRIENNE was able to single herself out as an ‘Unconventional Writer,’ spotlighting her admirable Causes. Reflecting back on the Years from 1952-1990, ASK realized that Life is merely the Composition of Series of Events that continually occur. These Occurrences may be good, bad or neutral. How each one is perceived, approached and handled can mean The Difference in Success or Failure; a good Day or a Mediocre Day. This is what she refers to as the Reveal-Reflect-Realize Triangle.

On a whim, ADRIENNE figured out how many Lives (as a Leo born on August 9TH) she had ‘used’ up when she was in her late 30s. Astonishingly, she had gone over her Limit of 9. Cats possess the Proverbial 9 Lives but somehow she had managed to get through difficult Episodes of ‘High Suspense and Magnitude’ and “lived to write about them” as she states.

“Writing records is a Therapeutic Outlet that aids those who simply set Pen to Paper or Fingers to Keyboard. The Records become an infallible Part of the Tapestry of Contemporary Life, then turning into History as Time progresses. For the Record-Keepers, their Readers and Future Generations are the ones who benefit.”

Quote of: ASK
Monday, April 9, 2007 – 4:05 PM & Wednesday, April 11, 2007 – 4:21 PM

The stark Realization is that We are all living on Borrowed Time and if We don’t use the Time We do have at our Disposal, it’s a Crying Shame that ’The Most’ is not accomplished each and every Day. These instrumental and incremental Standards are applied to The Development of each HOLIDATE (all 1,500) when thoroughly explaining ‘How To Properly Celebrate A HOLIDATE ®.’

At this Key Moment, ADRIENNE then wanted to share these Experiences with others. Knowing DNA and ‘the Future’ are Two Commonalities Humans share on a Daily Basis, it is consequential to live in and for The Day. However, when Tough Times occur, it does not signal ‘The End of The World’ but should be seen as a Growth Process. Always citing herself as an Example in which to take her Cues, ASK survived some harrowing Experiences. Others have also; some much worse. This Mindset needs to be embedded into a Person’s Psyche for those unexpected, Scary Times when Change abruptly enters and Uncertainly seems to loom with no End in Sight.

“As a Child growing up, My Mother would read AESOP’s Fables to me, which turned out to be my favorite Author of all Time. As I delved into the EVENTOLOGICAL Writings and was creating New Words to suit each Event, I surprisingly realized my own Name contained AESOP’s Name as shown below:

AdriEnne Sioux kOoPersmith

“Judging by this Encryption, there must be a Link between Early Learning Processes and how Artists perceive and ‘draw upon’ their Surroundings for their Inspiration. ‘If that doesn’t prove there are Ancient Astronauts, I don’t know what does!’ is what Boyfriend Bob says in jest. ”On the other hand this Connection adds a certain Charm, Glamour and SuperNatural Awe to what I’m composing at The Time, as Reincarnation is a fascinating Topic in some Literary Circles. After all, who is to say?”

THAT PIVOTAL MOMENT:

On Wednesday, July 25, 1990 at 9:45 PM, KOOPERSMITH began a Concept and Trend that rapidly gained Attention and a certain Amount of Notoriety and Fame from Advertising/Public Relation Companies, The Publishing Industry & The Media. This Reawakening ran parallel to the Time of America’s Great Fascination with the Spiritual Movement. These Ideologies (that she still relies on and lives for Today) would catapult her to The Top of her Game as:

‘America’s Premier Eventologist ®’
&
‘The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World ®’

in the Days ahead.

Cited as:

EVENTOLOGY: ®
The ART of EVENT-Making
ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH’s Campaigns For Humanity, ©1990

this Compilation houses over 1,500 HOLIDATES ASK created involving her relevant Theories of living Life to the fullest.

HOLIDATES is derived from the Two Words:

HOLIDAYS + DATES = HOLIDATES ®

and are defined as: Goodwill, Humanitarian, Altruistic, Educational, Recreational, Spiritual, Good-Time and Fun-Type Holidays that fall into 34 specific Categories.

In 1997, ADRIENNE published a Short-Run on the award-winning:

EVENT-O-PEDIA: 1997 ®
(Winning Two (2) Awards for Originality from the Calendar Marketing Association)

&

EAT-Vent-O-Pedia: 1998®
that describes Ways to eat healthily and wisely.
This was, of course, five years before The Obesity Crisis became a Hot Topic in America.

THE ADVENTURES ENCOUNTERED IN EVENTOLOGY ®:
“When a Person changes Courses, as I have done on many Occasions, the Perspectives during that Period are also altered. Just one small Step can take The Bitter and convert it into Better.”

Quote of: ASK
Saturday, April 7, 2007 – 9:40 AM

In essence, that’s the Bottom Line of EVENTOLOGY ® created, developed and popularized by KOOPERSMITH. Not only should every Day be worked and enjoyed for The Gift that it is; but if Situations are not working out, they can be altered and changed for The Better without ‘losing control’ of The Situation. KOOPERMITH’s 1,500 HOLIDATES are convenient, daily Ways and Reminders to entertain yourself via their Themes and Messages.

THE FIRST UNVEILING: In 1995 after developing EVENTOLOGY ® for 5 years, in order to ‘Spread The Word’ on the Usefulness and Uniqueness of EVENTOLOGY ®, ADRIENNE contacted Publishers who then noted the Attributes, Positive Thoughts & Originality she was aiming to disseminate. Their supportive Comments and Compliments are:

PART 3:

WHAT
KOOPERSMITH’s KREATIVE KINGDOM & KALENDAR:
A RETURN TO UTOPIA ©1990
ENCOMPASSES:

IN TIMELINE FORMAT:

ADRIENNE is also the Founder and Mastermind of AFSEE: Advocates For Senior Equality & Enrichment ©2002, whose Writings assist and support those Individuals ages 50 and older. AFSEE’s Focus is based on specific Issues that Broadcasting Networks fail to pinpoint; are overlooked or condemned merely by being ‘Old.’ With Reading, Writing, Promoting and Publishing in The Forefront of her Days, ASK is the Creative Force behind:

ABC: ADRIENNE’s BOOK CRITIQUES and AB.c: Adrienne’s Bookshelf.com ©2001

making sure Books she feels are meritorious receive the Exposure they truly deserve. Interestingly enough, as one Author writing about another Author, it’s a Bond that ties and is taken from The Standpoint that ADRIENNE thoroughly understands what The Writer is attempting to convey to his/her Audience.

After being violently assaulted, robbed and left-for-dead in a pool of blood (her own) in the lobby of her apartment building on Monday, December 23, 1991 at 6 PM sharp, she heroically created: CARTOONISTS AGAINST CRIME ©1991, followed a Decade later by CARTOONISTS AGAINST TERRORISM ©2001; then CARTOONISTS AGAINST OBESITY ©2003.

“Even if the Language is not understood, the Expressions on a Cartoon Character’s Face can reveal a multitude of Emotions and Messages,” ASK claims. “This is where Comic Art becomes a Learning Tool and an ideal Medium in which to SAVE A PRECIOUS LIFE. Whether the Assault is classified as street crime, domestic violence, global terrorism or the battle of the bulge (which can also be a death sentence to those so suffering), the Viewer can derive Safety Tips (Communiqués or Messages) from a Comic Art Panel that could (someday) save his very Life.”

Because of her poignant Writing Style on these Humanitarian Crusades, Mayors, Governors and Presidents endorsed ASK’s three outstanding Comic Art Campaigns, thus elevating her Standing in the Art World as a Pioneer in the Creative Arts. She was The First in recorded History to link Crime Prevention to Comic Art, thus SAVING A PRECIOUS LIFE exhibited in an Educational Manner that did not ‘hurt.’ By marrying Comic Art with Crime Prevention, ADRIENNE set a Precedence and opened Doors for others to pursue their Dreams and Creative Studies.

WORDS DON’T FAIL ME NOW!

As of 2007, within the Span of Seventeen (17) Years, ADRIENNE has penned Fifty (50) Manuscripts (including Children’s Stories and Fairy Tales) with Pop Culture heading this expansive Selection of Topics. To accompany this immense Body of Work, as a lifelong, card-carrying Wordsmith, she has created 500+ nouveau and hip Terms that she assigns to The Writings’ Contents along with PQ: Poignant Quotes that capture and captivate the Essence of each Compositions.

ADRIENNE has found that The Melding of Words + Quotes always seems to go better with a Drawing whether it’s complex or simple. In the Days prior to eMail, beginning in the early 1960s when ADRIENNE would ’pen pal’ with others across The Globe, she delighted in what was tagged as MAIL ART, whereby Envelopes would be ’colored in’ with an Assortment of vibrating Designs, Faces, Lines and Color. One of her more popular Characters to emerge from this Era was Marble Man,® a curly-cue B&W Line Drawing that was shaded and slashed in with Streaks of Color. Making People grin before ‘The Smiley Face’ came upon ‘The Scene,’ Marble Man circled The World on Stamp Power before High Technology convinced ASK to hop-on-board.

MOVING THE NEWS THE ASKIAN WAY:
By heading her PRAM: Public Relations-Advertising-Marketing Firm called:

KOOPERSMITH’s GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS
“People read what Adrienne writes about…”

since 1979, she then introduces, applies and promotes The Concepts + Words + Images that she feels so strongly about to define and elevate Modern Culture as seen ‘Through The Creative Eyes of ASK.’ ADRIENNE enjoys adding her own Style of putting ‘The Pop’ into Pop Culture and setting new Trends in so doing.

A lifelong Advocate of Bicycling since age 6 (circa 1958), in 2003, ASK launched Bike Safety Campaigns & Rallies called:

“I’m Somebody’s Daughter, Too!” ©2003
&
The Bicyclists’ Moratorium Against Wreckless Taxi Cab Companies & Drivers ©2003

after being hit for the seventh time while Cycling. As a conscientious and alert Peddler that halts for yellow lights, out-of-control pets, pre-occupied drivers and speed-freaks, most Reporters are shocked to hear of a small-boned person (as ADRIENNE is) withstanding being hit seven times while Cycling in a City that promotes acute Bicycle Activity and Safety.

Of course, PI: Pertinent Issues included in her Campaigns, Rallies and Writings include Automobile Drivers who chatter incessantly on their cell phones, making it increasingly more hazardous on the Roadways for all Travelers than ever before; DUIs; Senior Steerings; Carpooling and how Global Warming Affects Transportation. Today, ADRIENNE travels around town on a Vintage 1947 Schwinn and uses her Classic Bike as Transportation for Business, Recreation, Exercise and Health Purposes besides demonstrating Smarter Ways to travel The Earth without adding to The Global Warming Crisis.

TIPPING THE SCALES & THUMBING HER NOSE AT BOTH AGE & SWEETS:

February 25, 2007 marked ADRIENNE’s 10TH Year of Biking day-in and day-out (even in inclement Weather). As a thriving BabyBoomer being accelerated by The Philosophies behind her AFSEE Writings, ADRIENNE tells People that due to Perseverance and a Need to keep fit as she ages, she has taken off four (4) inches from her Frame within that Decade and has kept it off. In an Age where ‘Skinny’ and ‘Youth’ are revered, the Lessons ASK has learned via her Perception of Aging & Exercising continue to keep her Mentally, Physically and Spiritually alert. Also proven invaluable is her Ability to bike for an Hour every Day. By doing so, she has completely eliminated The Guilt from eating any delicious, high calorie Food that she may desire or crave. “This is truly a Relief that most American Women struggle with. I have finally solved that Problem,” she declares. “I can now thoroughly enjoy whatever I desire because I know that by a constant and steady Schedule of Biking, added Pounds will not show up on my Scale or on my Physique. You have to find what works best for you and instill that Habit (as a Routine) in your Regiment.”

As ADRIENNE ‘does The Math’ for you, with 8,760 Hours in a Year, 365 Hours (or 1 Hour a Day) spent Exercising is an extremely Small Price to pay to keep fit and healthy. Her proven Formula boils down to 30 Minutes in the Morning and 30 Minutes in the Afternoon. That is only 4.166% of our entire Year (and/or Lifespan).

In October of 2002, after being contacted by a major West Coast Food Manufacturer to write a Testimonial, ADRIENNE became so inspired she penned a Manuscript (Book) called:

LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF ICE CREAM
Interpretations About Our Favorite Timeless Dessert ©2002.

Grasping how popular Events are in People’s Lives and primarily known as ‘America’s Premier Eventologist’, ASK declared The Decade of 2003-2013 as:

THE DECADE OF EVERYTHING ICE CREAM ©2002.

Ice Cream has long held The Reputation of being one Food that brings a Smile to People’s Faces by conjuring up a Celebration – a Good Time, an Event that is both memorable and tasty to all Attendees and Party-cipants.

In September of 2003, ADRIENNE produced a Book that contained Ten Percent (10%) of her Daily BUZZ-O-GRAMS ® based on her self-formulated Concept called:

PRAM: Public Relations – Advertising – Marketing ®.

An eNewsletter of 131 Topical BUZZ-O-GRAMS ® (spiraling out of Guerrilla Marketing Ideologies) had been written from Wednesday, April 23 through Wednesday, October 1, 2003. Their Contents can easily be converted to Forwards for Books on the Passel of Topics she had covered. To facilitate the EVENTOLOGICAL Movement, these BUZZ-O-GRAMS ® are now exclusively written for Clients who need Special Content for their Websites or other Literary Projects.

In 2003, TOONING UP WITH ASK ® was ADRIENNE’s newest Cartoon Art Serial featuring the Thoughts of her ‘Inner Cartoonist’ named Little Elmost® that appeals to the vast international Sphere of Comic Art Aficionados. Entailed within are Insights on ‘the World’s most popular Art Form: Comic and Cartoon Art’ from (her) Past & Present Literary & Graphic Archives.

“I’m 50 & I Gotta Boyfriend” ©2002 is a multi-year, multi-media Project KOOPERMITH created in the Spring of 2003 under The Auspices of AFSEE ©2002 and properly launched in September of 2003. Consisting of 50 Women Writers (one from each State of The Union) – all born in 1952, ADRIENNE’s Year of Birth, the Premise is that all Members highlight their ‘Trip Through Their 50s’ in the various Regions where they reside, reflecting upon their Life, Styles, Loves & Concerns. As a continuing Series in the Life and Times of BabyBoomers, ADRIENNE and millions of others across The Planet are aging gracefully as the years pass. Perceived as a Voice to be reckoned with, these Voices need to be heard and recorded. Subsequent Titles are chronicled as:

I’m 51 & I Gotta Boyfriend ©2003
I’m 52 & I Gotta Boyfriend ©2004
I’m 53 & I Gotta Boyfriend©2005
I’m 54 & I Gotta Boyfriend ©2006

FYI, at 54, ASK is proudly planning an AFSEE ® Get-Together with her Classmates as The Class of 70 turns 55 in August of 2007. With BabyBoomers taking The Lead in this pronounced and swelling Demographic, Industries are turning their attention to the marketing, care and catering to these ‘Seniors and Senioritas’ (as ASK labels them).

Acknowledging the robust Charisma and Vitality of this Group, through AFSEE ®, ASK intends to help empower BabyBoomers – the Individuals who have donated so much to Modern Times. By removing the Stigmas and Taboos attached to Aging (itself) in The World’s most Civilized Nation, The Emphasis is ‘writefully’ placed upon The Lessons learned through their daily Events + Experiences.

THE THREE CAMPAIGNS THAT SET ART HISTORY ON FIRE:

After reading and hearing so much about the Overweight Epidemic that is plaguing America as well as other Countries across the World, ADRIENNE again turned her Attention, Intuition and Cognitive Senses to the Field of Comic Art & Cartooning, one of her foremost Loves. With a proven Formula set, she conceptualized a new, dynamic Crusade based on The Principles she formulated with The Founding of CARTOONISTS AGAINST CRIME ©1991 on Monday, December 23, 1991 and CARTOONISTS AGAINST TERRORISM ©2001 after the Terrorist Attacks on American Soil. Based on Health, Nutrition, Education and Self-Esteem, CARTOONISTS AGAINST OBESITY ©2003 is yet another Campaign others can relate to as they fight their Daily Demons and seek Self-Improvement.

TURNING THE TABLES ON GLUTTONY:

ASK returned from a Candyholics’ Dream Convention in mid-June of 2004. She walked Miles of Aisles that were chocolate-saturated, caramel-sweetened or cinnamon-coated. Every Sweet Confection was dipped and dribbled in every flavor-Favorite ever conceived. Decked out and decorated in Candy, the ALL CANDY EXPO ® turned ASK’s Attention, Writing and Promotional Expertise to the Confectionery Industry, one that sweeps and spans The World in endless kinds of incrEDIBLE EDIBLES.

As a very important Segment of Our Day, Food is an ‘Event’ in and of itself. Part of The Intrigue ADRIENNE sees in Life deals with Ironies and receiving ‘Mixed Signals.’ Figuring those Puzzles out lends itself to wiser Decisions that may be as feasible and warranted (in the times ahead).

For those Poor Souls in Countries where Starvation and Mal-Nutrition are rampant, a Meal is an Event. That Statement cannot be argued. Linking her EVENTOLOGICAL Library Roster of 1,200+ HOLIDATES, ADRIENNE has penned 333+ EAT-Vents ® (defined as: Food based HOLIDATES that cleverly teach People how to eat healthily and wisely). Therefore, this Avenue seemed to be a logical ‘Main Course’ to take as ADRIENNE began writing a Monthly eNewsletter called:

ASK’s TOP ‘SWEET 16’ SWEETS’ LIST ©2004-2007.

Simultaneously, she began composing The Pages of one of her tastiest Manuscripts (Books) entitled:

HE WHO EATS CANDY
Spotlighting 192 of the Top Candy & Sweets’ Producers of The 21ST Century:
A CANDY-O-PEDIA ©2004-2005

Teaming up with her Significant Other, ROBERT E. HOFSTADTER (a Creatif in his own ‘write’ and Member of the prestigious Hofstadter Family who have won 3 Pulitzers and 1 Nobel Prize), ADRIENNE & ROBERT formulated KICK:

KOOPERSMITH’s INTICING CANDY KINGDOM ®

that strictly focuses on their Likes, Licks and Interests in the Global Confectionery Industry.

THE TIES THAT BIND: As a Chicago Personality and Creatif backed by her PRAM Company to broadcast her Visions, ADRIENNE is seeking other Avenues in which to market her commendable crusades. In her:

KICK: KOOPERSMITH’s INTICING CANDY KINGDOM ® Realm,

she is seeking a Spokesperson Role promoting her own Candy Bar. Portions of The Proceeds are ear-marked towards her immense Array of Charitable HOLIDATES ® — all 1,500+ of them that span 34 universal Categories.

After all,

SWEETENING UP AND ENTERTAINING PEOPLE WITH HER IDEAS, CONCEPTS & WRITTEN WORDS

are what ADRIENNE has persistently been doing daily since she was 6 years old while ‘Growing Up Koopersmith’ in her Hometown of Mendota, Illinois where her Father reigned as Mayor for nearly 16 years. Being in the Political Forefront as a Youngster initially set The Pace for ADRIENNE’s Creativity and Networking Prowess.

ON BEING A NATURAL BORN WRITER.

“When ‘The Goin’ gets tough, The Tough write it out. ‘The Goin’ needn’t even ‘get tough’ to be able to write. Writing is a fulfilling Past-Time to enjoy no matter what the pervading Circumstances are or may be(come) as I have constantly found and learned. Memorizing The Alphabet in Miss Watson’s Second Grade Classroom and became a Wordsmith in my ‘Own Write of Passage.’ Writing poignant, humorous or grabbing QWITE: Quotes, Witticisms, Insights, Testimonials and Elan come naturally to ASK. The Process and Flow (known as the Art & Act) of Writing make it extremely difficult to quit. To the non-Writer, it could be asked: “I write. What again is your Excuse?”

QUOTING ASK:

Original Quotation penned: Wednesday, November 5, 2003
Revision #1: Sunday, April 1, 2007:

“Motivation is the Culprit that allows me to think out-of-the-box and off the Page, write, compose and crusade. Even as a Youngster, I derived much Pleasure from Writing (solitary as The Exercise may be) and wake-up early and eager to get back at it again and again; to refine it; to define it and to add more Lines to it. My Writing Techniques and Styles have taken many Forms throughout The Decades based on The Change of all Outer and Inner Forces (from Printing to Writing to Typing to Internet Exchanges). Taking The Pulse of Popular Culture and respecting The Sake of The Arts (overall) as I do, in my Special Case, those Productions yield and give birth to a Societal Benefit and possibly the Healthiest Addiction worth possessing.”

THE YEARS COMMONLY KNOWN AS 2005-2007:

ENTER PHOTOGRAPHY:
Taking Pictures of The Moments of Our Lives

ADRIENNE purchased GORF, THE FROG (measuring 24.5”) on Friday, January 28, 2005 for the simple reason that he physically stopped her in her tracks with that huge 11” Smile that automatically made her grin. As an avid Toy Collector since birth, ADRIENNE never saw a TOY that had this Amount of Appeal or Magnetism. Being a devout Publicist and Promoter, she knew she had a once-in-a-lifetime Hot Product on her hands. Her Intuition has never failed. Whenever ADRIENNE & ROBERT took GORF on ’Outings,’ People stopped and asked about The Toy. THE FROG’s Magnetic Draw (ADRIENNE assumed) could be channeled into Humanitarian Campaigns. ROBERT and ASK quickly drew up a List of 10 Crusades that direly needed to be addressed and resolved.

By applying their Creative Efforts, Experience and Eventological Expertise via GORF, the Team of ADRIENNE & ROBERT are able to easily draw The People’s Attention to these critical Campaigns.

Thousands of Groups are vigilantly combating the largest Campaign, GLOBAL WARMING that affects every Species on the Planet. To date, GORF has appeared on local and National TV and attends city-wide Events in order to win The Crowds’ Hearts and to grab their Attention. Simultaneously, ADRIENNE taught herself how to snap Pictures of The FROG-In-Action. These Images or Photographs (re-termed photoGORFS ®) are shot in colorful Locales that aid in elevating GORF to a new Genre of TOY – The TOY that inspires People in doing their Part for Humanity.

The Link between what ADRIENNE did to join or merge Comic Art to Crime Prevention is evidently very similar to her Stance in taking GORF and setting him apart as a Reminder – a loving TOY – of Our Role that The Planet is a living, breathing Entity.

As ADRIENNE accesses it: “GORF is a tangible ’Cartoon Character’ which is one of my earliest Loves. GORF (combined with my Crusades and Campaigns) is a terrific Way of drawing Attention to The Fact that ’Wasted Time’ can be better used by working for Causes that should better The Planet.”

Many People ask if ADRIENNE abandoned her Love of Comic Art when ROBERT & ASK became KEEPERS OF THE FROG, GORF. Quite to the contrary, her MO: Modus Operandi is that she cleverly melded the Two Arts. Taking the Elements of both, ADRIENNE used the Traits of Cartoon Art + Photography, named it:

PHOTOONS ®
(PHOTO-graphs + car-TOONS = PHOTOONS ®)

and uses both in her Writings as IllustraTOONS that enhance each Page, Poster and Product. “Nothing is ever lost, but always built on, amended and abridged according to ‘The Change du Jour,’” ASK explains.

HAVE TOYS WILL TRAVEL:

Today, THE GORF FAMILY has 5 Members (GORF, The Original, GORF’s Body-Double, Pink, Ming & Turq). ADRIENNE is now Chicago’s Leading TOY Stylist, one Career that she again invented to meet her Needs and Role as a BabyBoomer, ever-changing as she works her Way through Life. As an Indicator of Popular Culture, TOYS (as a multi-billion dollar industry) have captured People’s Hearts since their Youth and TOYS travel as Part of ‘The Family’ with us throughout Our Lives no matter what Age we are.

ON AN EARLY NOVEMBER DAY IN 2006:

ADRIENNE happened across a Contest for Office Products. With a Background firm in Writing since Age 6, she has, undoubtedly, used every Office Product ever invented. Spurred on by this Contest, within a few hours after accessing what her Home Office needed, she invented 4 new Products. Because ROBERT (her Significant Other is a Civil Engineer), she consulted with him and he placed the ’Finishing Touches’ on The Concepts. ”I had no idea I could invent a Product,’ ADRIENNE laughs. ”Then, all of a sudden, there was a Need and Ideas (4 of them) popped into my Mind. The Power and Act of Creating can not be beat. It’s a ‘High’ and Adrenalin Rush that can’t be duplicated. An Experience like this makes me think of the Old Phrase that Parents instill in their Children. That is: ’Never say never.’ And, if I may add: Don’t stop looking for that next New Project or Invention. No matter what it may be or where it originates from, you possess The Talent to see it through Completion.”

IMAGINATION + INVENTIVENESS ARE ALL IT TAKES:

Combined with the mammoth Body of Written Work containing 1,500+ HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE ® that she methodically created, launched and is universally known for, ADRIENNE’s ongoing multi-faceted Career is derived from processing Bad Situations (The Bitter) and turning them into Good Situations (The Better).

As 2007 broke loose, ADRIENNE is buzzing about Chicagology 101 ® - a Bi-Weekly Travel BLOG that she pens for Hotels by City, a Travel Group based in Winnipeg and Miami. Chicagology 101 ® features the People, Places and Events that occur in The Windy City – ‘Sweet Home’ Chicago where ASK has resided since 1974.

SCANNING THE LAST 17 YEARS:

“The Ability to work with many talented People was initially launched by the start-up of Koopersmith’s Global Communications in 1979. Wanting to delve into my own Creative Side (as an interesting Spin-Off), this great Body of Eventological Work (that touches so many People in splendid Ways) was produced from July, 1990 to April, 2007. Collectively, this Process set all other Eventological Events into motion and created a Groundswell in the Event-Making Industry. With endless Concepts on My Roster that have been explored and those still needing Exposure, Time to cultivate them is of highest Priority. However, if a Person truly enjoys what he/she is doing, ‘The Time’ will be found to make sure all their Bases are covered. Setting Boundaries and Parameters is tantamount in The Art + Act of Creative Cultivation. It’s easy to get sucked up into The Maelstrom of Addictions, Problems, Turmoil and Crises, but it’s just as easy to immerse yourself in ‘what counts’ and ‘What Matters’ as ROBERT’s younger Son, ZACK says.”

PART 5: AN ASK LITERARY PASSAGE

A STUDY OF MODERN LITERATURE ©2003
By: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith
Penned: November 2-20, 2003

‘Modern Literature is a brilliant Combination of Intuition,
Pen + Paper and an unending Drive to define, twist, color and reshape
The Times of Our Lives to accommodate and
reflect The Events that affect us all…
in Passages that will delight One’s Fancy,
accentuate The Positive and open more Eyes still;
thereby fulfilling One’s Impetuous Soul;
to ignite or free The Human Spirit and induce Fantastic Visions.
We measure The Bliss and The Strength of Our Days
by the Successful Strides and Events that have been achieved.
This Regard adds up to the ‘Common Wealth’ of Man.
=============================================

REVEAL-REFLECT-REALIZE-RESIDE-RECOGNIZE:
THE PENTAGON: A House of Faith

The Word ‘Repeat’ can be added to The List as well as Reawakening, Reckoned, Recollection, Recorded, Refers, Regard, Regiment, Regions, Relevant, Relief and Relies. This List is The Basis of ADRIENNE’s Life as she has used all 17 of these Action Verbs and Nouns to make her Life and Writings interesting. By ‘Reinventing’ ourselves and our Surroundings, We are able to ‘step out of ourselves’ and grow in Directions and Realms, never before tackled.

Reading, Recollections, Recreational, Reflecting, Regiment, Registered, Reincarnation, Relate, Remain, Reminders, Removing, Reputation, Resolved, Returning and Revered are all added to that Life’s List. Words (as these) put the Civility into Civilization.

“Nothing remains Stagnant. Life continues. After a Day is complete, what remains is The Mark we imprinted – priceless as it is. Impressions are continuously made. First Impressions (whose Mark is indelible) can never be reproduced. Our Days are designed to yield applicable Pursuits in our Growth for Excellence. Sharing our honed Talents through The Passage of Time, a Passion for Life grows.”

Quote of: ASK
Saturday, April 7, 2007 – 10:09 AM

QUOTING MARY: Events are packed into Days. Events, then create and shape those Days. Those Days make up a Lifetime. As Mary McCauley of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel stated about ADRIENNE’s Eventological Career (on Sunday, September 1, 1996):

“When G-d created the World, He somehow neglected to name the Days. Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith is taking up the slack.”

THE EVOLUTION OF A WRITER: “Establishing a recognizable Name, Reputation and unique Writing Style doesn’t come overnight. Longevity only arrives after a certain Number of Days pass. Establishing anything worthwhile — no matter what your Passion is — doesn’t really ’come easy.’ You continually build on your Prior Days’ Work and Achievements to plan for the Future. Blueprints need charting; Ideas need development; Schemes need adjusting; Thoughts need time to grow. As The Process grows, The Road traveled will be a True Adventure. ’Getting there’ is The Highlight worth remembering and worth savoring. With Perseverance and a Drive to succeed, the Side Paths, Hills and Valleys may not be anticipated but appear and disappear like a fine Morning Fog. That is a Legacy with no Rivals.”

Quote of: ASK
Tuesday, April 3, 2007 – 8:16 AM

”Your Destination is the EVENT-ual Outcome of what is put into every Day lived. Those Challenges are perpetually there and can be faced or erased. When one Challenge is completed, the next Challenge awaits. Tackling those Challenges is courageous even if the Person is not a registered card-carrying EVENTOLOGIST®.”

ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith

IN 30 WORDS OR LESS: ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH’s Output best exemplifies a talented Creatif with an massive Source of Ideas and Concepts that are powered on Goodwill and The Gift to write all about it.

In the early 1990s, Pop Artist and an internationally recognized Design Icon, Peter Max of New York City had publicly cited ASK as the most ‘Creative Person in Chicago’ that he knows.

Lunch With An Artist: Having Lunch with a Literary Giant

October, 2008 is Chicago Artists' Month. This Designation solidifies the Fact that it takes vast Reserves of NRG, Insight, Talent, Skill and Savvy to create Art in the 21ST Century and 21ST Century Art. Not everyone is born with these Abilities. Art (in all its endless Glory and Structures) stretches the Gamut. Having been there, paving in-roads and doing all that for the Entirety of her Life (which measures now into The Decades) while simultaneously breaking Grounds in many Creative Fields, ASK (Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith) is available (even after the October, 2008 Deadline passes and dep-ART-s into Art History) to have Lunch with you. This Opportunity is slated as one of the more popular Events known as:

Chicago Artists Month
http://www.chicagoartistsmonth.org/

Assistance and Sponsorship is backed by: The Department of Cultural Center, The City of Chicago, 3Arts, Sara Lee Foundation, WTTW Channel 11 - 98.7 WFMT, Time Out Chicago, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, Inc., National Promotions and Advertising, Chicago Artists Collation, Chicago Gallery News and the Chicago Office of Tourism, a worthy lot that admires the Creative Spirit.

Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, Inc. is the official Dining Partner of CAM: Chicago Artists Month, but there are plenty of other Restaurants that deserve their Fair Share of Consumers & Snackers.

“Chicago is a City of 100 Neighborhoods,” writes Adrienne in her Classic 1998 Edition of EAT-Vent-O-Pedia ®. “There’s not enough Weekends in any given year to visit them all. You will never go hungry in this Town.”

“THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED: Where there are (merely) Two Seats, a Table and Pioneers who meet that have diligently devoted their Life (or Lives) to The Arts, a Conversation brews. Even seated on an old wooden Bench in The Park is 'do-able' to capture an Artistic Discourse and Exchange. From that very Conversation sparks further Artistic Advancements that, undoubtedly, would not have formulated."

CAPSULIZING THE IMMENSE WORKS OF ASK:

Adrienne is hailed as:

'America's Premier Eventologist'
per Gene Koprowski of Insight Magazine
(Washington, DC - August, 1997)

'The Premier Eventologist in The History of The World'

(Chicago, IL - January, 2001)

'Having Lunch with Adrienne' is a full Course Delight where every Bite enriches your Take on what The Arts are all about. Any Dessert could not be as delicious. Bring your Camera and record this Happening as this Event is what Classrooms across America should be highlighting for their Students who feel they have an Artistic Bent and wish to pursue their Dream.

Being flexible to meet and mingle with Art Aficionados, School Teachers, Patrons of The Arts, etc. is an Act in which Adrienne gains back as much Perception as she exudes and shares. If you are interested in having Lunch with Chicago's Very Own, Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, email her directly at:
