Embarrassing

E-mail from Dad:

Margaret: been following your blog; which, by the by not to be a noodge you do realize the difference between the Adriatic and the Baltic?

No. I do not. Until I googled "Baltic" and realized I should have named this blog "Balkan Summer."

I will take 50% responsibility and divide the other 50% equally among the Fairfax County Public School System, the University of Virginia, and all popular media that should have done a better job with my international geography awareness. A special shout-out to FortiusOne, a geospatial mapping company I worked for from August 2007-August 2008 and of course my parents, though I do give them credit for having a pastel colored world-map shower curtain in our bathroom for most of the 1990's; though it would now be mostly irrelevant or politically incorrect.

  1. I think I still have that shower curtain - your dad uses it as a paint catcher. I didn't realize the difference either, until your dad started commenting on it every time he read one of your posts.
