Teacher, Latinist. Neither the son of true believers nor of good reputation. Once translated Marcus Aurelius, but I don't speak for him. (Neither of us speaks for UVA.) Minor outlying island. Can serve briefly as a boat.

Impossible not to think about what this film could have been with Bogart instead of George Raft.

My nominee for least convincing attempt to speak German in a film or TV show has always been William B. Davis in the Bermuda Triangle episode of the X-Files, but Sydney Greenstreet in Background to Danger is pretty bad.

I tend to assume most Republican politicians are cynical opportunists throwing red meat to the base (this doesn't make them less dangerous or less responsible for what they say). But Robinson strikes me as genuinely unwell, and it's scary that he's a coin toss away from running a major state.

Someone needs to start a Journal of Ancient Acrostics so everybody churning out these notes called "A Possible New Acrostic in Nemesianus" or "Three New Telestichs in Silius Italicus" can publish there and the rest of us can just mute them.
