A post written by Richard before his retirement, and given to me for sharing:
It is a very rainy day here, and I decided to visit Target to get some much needed essentials. I actually have a lot of work to do when I return, but I plan to make time for a pipe smoke in the new office. It isn't complete yet because I plan to add tartan carpeting and crown molding, but it is on its way.
So anyway, while in Target I encountered this bratty little 3 1/2 year old kid with spiked hair. He was running all around tormenting his two older brothers and mother. Finally, he stopped and threw his foot in the air while telling his brother the following:
"Tie my shoe.......so I can kick you in the penis".
I laughed my butt off, and the mother became a little disturbed, but who cares. First, I have never heard a little kid refer to male genitalia as a penis. Second, it was just funny!
This is being posted on Sunday for lack of a post on Saturday. However, I do intend to keep Richard's usual schedule.

Wow. This blog has reached a new level of bizarre. Now we get only faint echos of the blogger through old comments dug up by the mysterious "guest". It's as if poor Richard had departed for the next world, and his collected Nachlass, sitting somewhere in a cardboard shoe box (from Church's, or John Lobb, of course), was slowly being dug up and revealed, one by one, by some sort of ghostlike sartorial anthropologist.
Richard, come back!!! We need you!
Paul,
Nobody misses Richard more than I do, and I am trying daily to bring him back. He left behind about 20 posts, and I do plan to use them as I encourage his return. WASP 101 just isn't the same without him. I do hope people like the new decorations. I asked Richard if he minded, and he of course said, no! I used my Jaguar as inspiration, as suggested by Richard. It literally is a greenish blue with golden houndstooth seats, I love it.
The conglomerate of pictures need to be put closer together. They are too far apart. I would probably start with the wide, horizontal picture, make it the focal point and then hang the others around it, but not so far apart from each other.
It seems Mr. Richard is going through an identity crisis. I fear that he may have been the child that created "invisible" friends. Too bad, this sight was at least good for a laugh.
Pundit,
you are a weird one. You posted on my blog stating that you doubt that Richard would be missed, then you tried to, I say again, tried to insult me on my blog. Now you are here telling Richard that you are learing so much about WASPdom.
What's your story?
I enjoy reading your blog.....however I must comment that not posting Pundits comments reeks of a lack of self confidence and insecurity that is anathema to the WASP spirit. Unless his comment is highly offensive to others, leave it up, nor should you reply to his baiting commentary of his blog...I thought you had thicker skin.
Anonymous -- My decision to not allow Pundit to post is due to the fact that I refuse to allow him to use my blog to promote his. Working in PR and politics has given me very thick skin, but I do have weak moments like everyone else. Mr. Pundit will not get anymore comments from me, or any visits to his blog. No worries!
Is that wallpaper or wood? Hard to tell from the photos.
It is neither. It is actually a faux finish called antique leather. It required two coats, and a lot of stippling.
Cool on the paint technique. How does it look in real life? I love the idea, but am afraid of the emd result.
Too dark. Too pretentious.
Like it all came out of a J. Peterman catalog.
Hey, is that an Amazon Basin Banker's desk lamp? Cool!
Ducks on the pillows!!! Cool!
That stuff is like spice. Best used a pinch here, a pince there.
It can't be the entire meal.
Office seems overly affected and screams "tryng too hard". Perhaps a visit to Grandpas attic or local flea market could brush off the overly pretentious presentation
Yeah, what going on with that wall?
Everything looks like it came out of a brand new cigar store owned by no-neck men with diamond pinkie rings.
