Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And googling leads me to believe the list was made by my boy Digby Baltzell!
?
He coined the term WASP, has written a lot about American elite culture and Philadelphia and etc. He was a guest speaker to one of my undergrad classes, and since he had just written a book about tennis, that is what he spoke on. Note: the class was not about tennis, or sports in any way. He was just a really great, impressive, dapper, dotty old guy.
Edited for factual and grammatical accuracy.
He coined the term WASP.
Oh, that would make sense.
Although, in his NYTimes obit, his widow said he didn't. But he sure talked about them a lot!
And just because I'm feeling reminiscent, my real old-man Philadelphia idol was always Ed Bacon.
Hah! He prepped at St. Paul's. That explains so much. I think that place only aggravated my sister's issues.
In other news, I got a haircut this afternoon!
Surely the gods of Google will smile on this.
wow, this has been blast from the past week on facebook for me. 1 good friend from college I lost touch with. my roommate from a pre-college program I went to when I was 17 and lost touch with her soon after college. Another friend from college that I never kept up with afterwards. I expect highschool people to start popping up at anytime. crazy.
ANd there must have been some shift in my head in last few months, because I swear one of my first thoughts for the guys is: I wonder if he's single. Who is this person in my head?!??
