In a couple of weeks my celestial odometer will flip over to 88.Now that I am full of years and white of hair and the evening sun sets in the sky, I am taking this opportunity to share a life lesson about how I was gifted with the golden opportunity to create my 571 installments of this column, all of which you can read on my website, verbivore.com.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2011, I published a book titled The Gift of Age, an optimistic exploration of becoming chronologically endowed. Each year on a Saturday, the Union-Tribune had beensponsoring a Successful Aging Expo at the Town and Country Resort, and I believed that my topic would resonate with those attending the event.<\/p>\n<p>So I called the chairman of the Expo and asked if I could be a speaker at Successful Aging. He informed me that only sponsors were given the opportunity to be speakers, in otherwords, pay to play. So that was that.<\/p>\n<p>But the next year, the U-T added a Sunday to their Successful Aging event, so I got back on the horn and asked if I could be a Sunday speaker and display my books in the exhibit hallthat day. The chair said yes. Oh, frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! I chortled in my joy.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then I asked him a question, the answer to which changed my life: In addition to being at my book table on Sunday, could I also display my books on Saturday? Again he respondedpositively.<\/p>\n<p>So on Saturday, I had my books set up at 9 am. Two hours later, a slim fellow strolled over to my book table from the U-T exbibit area and asked me, \u201cAre you Richard Lederer?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/09\/in-animal-shelters-newborn-kittens-are-uniquely-vulnerable-this-workshop-aims-to-change-that\/\">In animal shelters, newborn kittens are uniquely vulnerable. This workshop aims to change that.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast time I checked,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Jeff Light,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI know who you are, Jeff.\u201d You\u2019re the publisher of the Union-Tribune, which my wife and have subscribed to since we touched down in San Digo in 1997.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeff asked, \u201cWhy aren\u2019t you writing for the Union Tribune?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I fixed him with a steely gaze, \u201cBecause you haven\u2019t asked me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks later, Jeff Light and I had lunch at the Butcher Shop Steakhouse in Kearny Mesa, and he hired me to write this language column.<\/p>\n<p>I asked one last question: \u201cJeff, I didn\u2019t see you at the Expo on Sunday. If I hadn\u2019t been at my book table on Saturday, would I have landed this job?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeff said, \u201cNo, but when I saw you on Saturday and, knowing your work on \u2018A Way with Words\u2019 on KPBS, the idea popped into my head that you should be the U-T language columnist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLederer on Language\u201d has been a major driver of my lifelong mission of teachership. Because of this column, I\u2019ve built a fandom, and I meet the best people at their best. Writing thiscolumn has driven me to write 65 books. I write. Therefore I am.<\/p>\n<p>And all because I made that second phone call and asked that question about Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Lucky. Absolutely \u2014 but luck is the convergence of hard work and opportunity. The harder you work the luckier you get.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s my life lesson: Knock and it shall be opened unto you. You lose all the points in life that you don\u2019t play. Take the bull by the horns. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Carpediem.
