Life in a Northern Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C. B.M.A.T.C., and Etruscan typewriter erasers. Blogged by David Gorsline.
More old fart reminiscence: we were trying to explain to the younger cast
members about "My Mother the
Car."
Even as I watched the show when I was nine years old, I enjoyed it but I
knew it was crap.
The unsettling thing is that I vaguely remember this
episode.

The air along the trail is filled with the scent of honeysuckle. It's
intoxificating: there is no other word for it, as Matt Galloway knows.
On Tuesday, I heard a Wood Thrush singing, fluting its perfect phrases.

Si la jeunesse sauvait, si la viellesse pouvait. Advice to commencement
speakers from Carlin Romano. Consider your audience:
- Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums.
- Banana Republic has always been a store, not a puppet government in
Latin America.
- The statement "You sound like a broken record" means nothing to them.
- They do not have a clue how to use a typewriter.
- They've never heard, "Where's the beef?"
- Paul Newman has always made salad dressing.
- Michael Jackson has always been white.
