The older I get, the more likely it is that I wake up in the morning with aches and pains. I guess that's part of the deal.
One of the most frequent, though, is a sore neck. And that is one ache that I can blame on my work as a politics reporter for the Enquirer back in the 1980s. And I can, at least in my own mind, pin the blame on one specific politician - the late John A. "Socko" Wiethe, who spent 34 years as the chair or co-chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party.
When I say "I think" he may have been responsible for the cervical spine problems that I had years after he passed on, I mean that in a literal sense.
