God-awful horrible stuff happened at Va. Tech today.
Most news sources seem to be talking almost exculsively to Tech students, but NPR interviewed a local man, a Mr. Cole on the custodial staff, and for a split second I felt almost as if I was at home again.
You see, I was listening to NPR on the way home. During the interview, I found that I had no problem whatsoever understading the local gentleman, but Seigel had to stop for clarification several times. For all of you who know me well, this is what my accent might have sounded like but for the grace of God.
In case I haven't said it lately, thanks, Dad, for moving me to Chicago in high school so that I could lose most of my accent, and thanks for the opportunity to add more accents to my repertoire.
