PROGRAM:

Richard introduced Les Wagner. So many people have had such interesting lives. Les was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship in 2004.

Looking up words for me is like some people with diets. It doesn’t stick as well as I would like. The following definition and comment is from The Superior Person’s Book of Words. Perhaps we will have a few words from this book in coming weeks.

ADVISEDLY adv. Deliberately, with conscious intent (of words or phrases used). Odd that it should have this meaning, since words use advisedly are almost invariably used not on the basis of advice of others but on the basis of one’s own convictions.
