Encounter with a Texan

Had a brief conversation this evening with an acquaintance who is a fellow devotee of Warren Hood and the Hoodlums. The topic got round to my work, and soon enough he brought up Michael Crichton.

I allowed as Crichton was alleging that I was only in it for the easy money.

He looked me up and down, my shirt, my shoes, and said "I hope you don't take this wrong, buddy, but y'all don't look like someone who's in it for the money."

  1. You should extend your brief story about that lady and you as a starving grad student on top of your blog with this!

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.



Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
