(It’s a dorkmanteau.)

I aspire to be a ne’erd-do-well.

That’s a ne’er-do-well who is also a nerd.

Charles Bukowski once wrote, “Find what you love and let it kill you.”

So if my fat ass chokes on Christmas candy while lying in bed, that just means I’ve led a life of great depth.

Also … blame the people who gave it to me.

Turns out the word “Philistine” can be pronounced either way.

It’s FILL-uh-steen in American English; I always thought that was the only correct way to say it.

But it’s FILL-uh-styne in British English. That used to grate on my last nerve when I heard it in movies and on TV. (This includes my beloved “Hannibal” in 2000.)

But I’m the ****-up in this equation and I need to chill. (And I am arguably a Philistine here.)

Going native.

No … this blog has not been hijacked.  That is me that you see in the picture.  I can now blend seamlessly into my adopted Southern City with this official Roanoke trucker’s cap — a fine Christmas present from one of my Mary Washington College alums.

The next time you see me on the street, you probably won’t even realize it’s your favorite Yankee.  It’s like I’m an undercover reporter again!!!

[Update 12/26/22: Yes, the (inevitable, as I see now) Jim Varney comparisons have begun in response to this photo.  Sigh.  Do what you have to, Vern.]

Fool’s gold!

Leave a comment

I finally got to see for myself what “fool’s gold” (pyrite) looks like.

Next year I might just hand these out willy-nilly and tell my friends it’s real gold.

A day to reflect.

I just love this one shot from yesterday’s video of Jefferson Street in the rain.  (I just figured out how to export frames from a video.)
