Today Is ...

I celebrate being a nerd, not a geek. Actually, Google has the exact same definition for geek and nerd, so I guess I am both: "a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest." I always thought nerds were smarter than geeks. I guess my particular subjects are Austrian pop music, men's rights activism, and chemistry. When I was in high school in the late 1970s, the girls hated nerds. These days, so I have been told, nerds are fashionable. (I have always been in the right place at the wrong time.)

When I was very young, I used to take my lunch to school in a metal lunch box. I remember a barn box with a silo container for my drink. As I got a bit older, still young, I switched to a brown bag just as my classmates did. I don't remember any other metal box.

I prefer Austrian (not Australian) white wine and Italian red wine, specifically Chianti Classico.
