I love Vincent van Basset… the colors, the skies …
the big blue bowl of bones… his simple bedroom at Arfles.
I agree… hard to imagine him cutting off an ear.
I mean, dogs often chase their own tails but you never hear of one biting his off.
BTW, I always say we should use ordinary names… suitable for baby boomers, or their parents, when naming Ballard Street characters.
They’re 70-ish or 80-ish…. not 102… so they’re not all Petunia, Carlisle, Ambrose or Hortense.
So what do I find today…. “Rulon”.
Rulon, Jerry? _Really? Who the @#$! is named Rulon?
Many of us here are… um… mature.
We tend to have names… you know… like Dennis and Susan. Not gonna call out anybody else…. but you guys know if you have “ordinary” names.
Well… get ready to be the Humphreys and Florences of the 21st century.
I’ve worked at a few retail jobs with lots of young people…
even in 2008, they thought our names were quaint.
A 17 year old kid, talking to another about a previous boss, said “you remember… he had one of those old guy names… like Greg”. GREG!
And he hated his own “old fashioned” name….Scott.
The rest of the guys were all Jareds and Jasons and Zacks.
Oh… and paper dictionaries.
I too have trouble with tiny fonts, so I have to hold them close, and even so, my near-sightedness is starting to fail me..I usually look things up online, I admit.
But I still have a paper dictionary near this chair, several in the um… reading room… and two by my bed.
