This blog was created so that family and friends could share collective musings and witicisms. Yes... I made that word up... it's not a typo. And as such, please feel free to post anything you care to make known to the rest of us... including pictures, jokes, etc... as long as its relatively clean. (The dirty stuff you can send to me directly... ha!).
If you're wondering about the title... "Pook" has become a pet name that we use whenever we are trying to get each others' attention. Like... "Hey, Pook... I love you" or "Pook, can you take out the garbage!" The origins of the name are a bit hazy but if I remember correctly the word went through a slow evolution; beginning with Snookie-Wookie, then Snookie, followed by Pookie until finally reaching its current iteration... just plain Pook.
For such a simple word... Pook carries a lifetime of emotion. It's our safe word... our word of comfort... our word of affection and love. We throw it around quite often these days... but it's never used casually. It's the verbal equivalent of using all CAPS in an email. It's our way of getting instant attention to what we are about to say... shouting without actually shouting.
And now that you know the story... please feel free to add to the Daily Pook.
