The Required Amount at the Prescribed Rate (Handcrafted From the Finest Corinthian Leather)
No Snooki In This One
If you live in Jersey and you've been down the shore, then you've got to read Richard Ford's take on the whole thing in his new Frank Bascombe novel, Lay of the Land.
Squirrel (can I still call you Squirrel??), someone from W&M, who shall remain nameless, emailed the link to your blog with the question "Weren't some of these idiots on your freshman hall?" So I felt compelled to check it out. Very entertaining. I especially enjoyed the account of Beer Olympics in the Monroe attic, which I vaguely remember. I'm wondering why I wasn't invited to participate. Hope you are all well. Dave, write back and tell me how you're doing. And if your son is named after that guy from The Cult whom you idolized so in 1989.
well, they got the idiots part right. as for not being allowed to participate, you may recall that we weren't particularly adept at dealing with members of the opposite sex at that time. not that we're any better now.
catherine actually suggested "ian"-- it sounded good with "alex"-- (not that my father was all that happy with neither son having a name ending in a vowel) and it was just a coincidence that it was the same as the cult's ian-- but a funny one that all my friend's thought was engineered by me . . .

Did you name your son after the lead singer of The Cult?
I loved your self-portrait; however, I will not be talking to you until you finish "Top Gun".
wait. that's not *the* catriona, is it?
