Thank You Merriam Webster

mox·ie
Pronunciation: \ˈmäk-sē\
Function: noun
1 : energy , pep 2 : courage , determination 3 : know-how

The above spelling, prounounciation, and definition will serve as a key to interpreting my last post.

My daughter Jen, who by the way I'm still embarrassing with my failure to comply with appropriate blog-protocol (she wishes she never introduced me to Blogger) was correct in her research findings. It's true that Moxie was also the name of a carbonated beverage, created in 1876. In response to Jared's comment-request for additional information on the "medicinal-benefits" of the carbonated Moxie, I refer you to the website providing the answer to all of life's little mysteries, Wikipedia.

You're welcome.

I need some more energy and pep these days. Pass me some Moxie, please!

Those deleted comments always peek my interest. Did they bring regular pepsi instead of diet? Did they insult your dog?? :)
