Today's Featured Biography
Larry Habegger
Larry Habegger was born in Minneapolis in 1952 and grew up in Richfield. As a child he had three simple dreams: to see a mountain, to see an ocean, and to play Major League Baseball. Well, at least he was able to fulfill two of those dreams. The closest he got to the Big Leagues was when he flied out against future Hall of Famer Dave Winfield when they faced each other in their teens in American Legion Baseball.
After graduating from Dartmouth College with a degree in English, he decided to see as much of the USA as possible, gradually making his way to San Francisco. He thought he would wait until he had seen more of America before going abroad, but an off-hand comment from a friend who was leaving in a few days for Central America set a spark to the kindling. In days, he was off on a whirlwind journey that took him from Mexico City to Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. Those sleepless nights on buses haunted his waking dreams, and upon returning to San Francisco he began planning his next escape.
Larry began publishing his writing about adventure and offbeat travel in 1980. His travel stories have appeared in magazines and newspapers in the U.S. and abroad, including Outside, Travel & Leisure, and the Los Angeles Times. In the early 1980s he co-authored mystery serials for the San Francisco Examiner with James O'Reilly, his old friend from Dartmouth and former disc jockey partner. Since 1985 their safety and security column, "World Travel Watch," has been syndicated in major newspapers in five countries and on internet sites. He continues to write the column today for newspaers and WorldTravelWatch.com. In 1993 he and James founded the publishing company Travelers' Tales with James's brother Tim. Larry and James have worked on more than ninety titles, winning many awards for excellence, including the Lowell Thomas Award for best travel book of the year. For many years Larry has been an active member of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) and the Bay Area Travel Writers.
He has visited some fifty countries and six of the seven continents, traveling from the Arctic to equatorial rain forest, the Himalayas to the Dead Sea. He travels whenever possible, feeling that exposure to the greater world and its diverse cultures is the best way to understand the world and yourself. Larry regularly teaches the art of travel writing at workshops and writers conferences, and he lives with his family on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco.

Heavens to Mergatroyd!
The other day a not-so-elderly (I say 75) lady said something to her son about driving a Jalopy; and he looked at her and said, "What the heck is a Jalopy?" He had never heard of the word jalopy! She knew she was old ...But not that old.
Well, I hope you are Hunky Dory when you read this and chuckle.
About a month ago, I illuminated some old expressions that have become obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology. These phrases included: Don't touch that dial; Carbon copy; You sound like a broken record; and Hung out to dry.
Back in the olden days, we had a lot of moxie . We'd put on our best bib and tucker, to straighten up and fly right.
Heavens to Betsy!
Gee whillikers!
Jumping Jehoshaphat!
Holy Moley!
We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley ; and even a regular guy couldn't accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop, or a pill. Not for all the tea in China!
Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when was the last time anything was swell? Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys, and the D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and pedal pushers.
Oh, my aching back! Kilroy was here, but he isn't anymore.
We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!" Or, "This is a fine kettle of fish!", we discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent, as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards. Poof, go the words of our youth. Where have all those great phrases gone?
Long gone: Pshaw, The milkman did it. Hey! It's your nickel. Don't forget to pull the chain. Knee-high to a grasshopper.
Well, Fiddlesticks! Going like sixty. I'll see you in the funny papers. Don't take any wooden nickels. Wake up and smell the roses.
It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter has liver pills. This can be disturbing stuff! (Carter's Little Liver Pills are gone too!)
This leaves us to wonder where Superman will find a phone booth.
See ya later, alligator! After a while crocodile. Oki-Doki artichokey!.
It's a bit of over-kill, but you get the drift...
