Major Minor
The phrase "minor heart attack" has been in the news a lot recently. I would like to propose that this three-word phrase be banned from the English and News Anchor languages. Instead, I would like to propose a better phrase that truly represents what one experiences, which can never be described as "minor". I have given great thought towards a more appropriate way to articulate the meaning behind this phrase. Therefore, I would like to propose that we use, very simply, the phrase "heart attack". If you don't accept this proposal, I will give you a minor finger-in-your-eye. Then, let me know what you think.

Tyler I couldn't agree more. My "minor" heart attack resulted in a triple bypass. The fear was never minor and neither was the recovery.
I just stumbled onto your blog. I love it! I am a native of Framingham Centre (See I even spelled it correctly) from 1947 and went to Jonathan Maynard School for first and second grade before Dad got the urge to go west!
Thanks for stopping by Barry! I haven't been writing much recently, but hope to start up again soon. I appreciate the feedback!
