Speaking of accents (well, pages and pages ago).


Was just listening to the interview with Yankee shortstop Didi Gregorius. Not any real identifiable accent but still seemed like "something". Was wondering what region of the country he might have been from. Looked him up and he was born in the Netherlands and grew up in the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao and speaks four languages: Dutch, Papiamento, English and Spanish. So, yah, that no accent at all accent.

I can get a pretty sweet Yooper accent going when drinking or saying words with a hard -ar in them. Does that count?

Dog totally freaking from the storm. Panting, licking, whining, frothing at the mouth. Poor baby, thundershirt apparently had no impact.

Almost. We should make this happen : me, you, and 2015. Let's get crunk! (do kids still say that these days, or do they say "tore up", wasted, etc?)

Is it just us three? I thought there might be a couple others. Either way, I'd be down for a get together someday!

I made her aware of the role you played.
Because of this, I expect your first born to be named after me. You can pick the trendier of my two names: either Georgios or Constantino (or Costas for short). Those are two of the top baby names of 2015 (in Greece).

Couldn't just be happy as best man, huh?
