Z for – you guessed it, Zeus! Zeus is the Olympian god of the sky and the thunder, the king of all other gods and men, and, consequently, the chief figure in Greek mythology. The son of Cronus and Rhea, he is famous for his infidelity to his sister and wife, Hera. Athena, Apollo and Artemis, Hermes, Dionysus, Heracles, Helen of Troy, and the Muses are all children of his numerous erotic affairs. Hephaestus, Hebe, and Ares are his legitimate children.
His name comes from the Ancient Greek word bright and has a close connection with dies, which is the Latin word for “day” and has a very ancient history. He was respected as an all father who was chief of the gods and assigned roles to the others. Therefore, many mythologists believe that Zeus is one of the oldest Greek gods.
Zeus is portrayed with a scepter in one hand and a thunderbolt in the other – both symbols of his authority.

Young brother and sister hated school
father, king of the castle raised no fools.
He wanted to shine a light on learning to read and his lazy children were in dire need
of instruction and a jolt of reality
instead of constantly playing in the nearby sea.
He printed a schedule on a teacher’s arm
while the man took the pledge to “cause no harm—
but teach the children” and he warned them too:
everyone follows their father’s rule.

I have to say this set of questions is quite a bummer Rory, but maybe it’s just my own answers? Thanks for the post.

Diet Declination
I was in the vicinity of a good place, or so I thought. I did notice my “salads only” diet was showing some results and a full length mirror was a reminder and activated my resolve. Then came the diluvial food banquet at my sister’s wedding. I proudly chose a few tidbits trying to keep myself on track and so far so good I thought. If it wasn’t for the chaser of tasting with gusto, every form of pasta provided, I could have worked off what I consumed when the dancing began. As it was, I had to think of it as a temporary setback.

Y for Yale. The Yale is a four legged beast from Ethiopia and India, tawny brown or black. It is about the size of a horse, looks much like a deer but has the lower jaws of a boar with tusks. Yale has long movable horns that it can control. In other references, its name is thought to be derived from the Hebrew word yael, meaning ibex. Long used as a heraldic symbol associated with the British royal family, “the Yale” was a favorite symbol of Lady Margaret Beaufort in the 15th century.
The Yale was first written about by Pliny the Elder in Book VIII of his Natural History…After its first mention in this book the creature moved into medieval beasts and heraldry where it represents a proud defense.

Monsters Beware!
A tactile flinch was reasonable in this situation. No part of my body could remain docile after the zombie neared to touch me. There’s preparation for meeting the “real thing” and thing…it certainly was, all ruined skin, slack jaw full of hungry teeth, and the smell! The dead black marbles that used to vibrant living eyes showed nothing.
I grew up with horror stories, to the point of infatuation, thinking meeting a vampire or werewolf would be an exciting adventure but this was unbelievable. I was frozen in my space on the sidewalk. I’m sure my eyes were huge reflecting my horror.
Then as quickly as it had appeared, it trudged down the dark alley, probably seeking a more tasty victim.
I always wore a necklace of garlic, with a crucifix, carried a vial of lavender essential oil and dosed myself in holy water each time I decided to take a midnight stroll.
