It's Been Two Years
What's a Delmer Look Like is 2-years old today.
I know what you're thinking: Man, it seems older. Not based on content, mind you, which is often very youthful sounding. And not youthful in a young, hip way, but in a juvenile way. It seems older in a … well, maybe older is the wrong word … you know how when you have root canal work and it only takes 20 minutes but it seems like hours have passed? It seems older in that same way.
It would seem that your thoughts concerning WADLL are not very clear. Nor very flattering.
But, we can't be concerned with that right now. You've probably been drinking. I know I'm full of pain killers myself.
I spent some time last night reading through old entries. I was stunned by the number of typos that have slipped through the last two years -- and for those I apologize. I spell check each and every entry, I think, and I still end up with typos. And I read everything multiple times.
I was surprised by the number of really boring entries I'd created. You'd think that a person would have to work really hard to be as boring as I am sometimes but, honest to God, I've never felt the least bit taxed.
But enough about past mistakes — let's charge forward and talk about mistakes that will be made this coming year. (Can a person plan mistakes?) Anyway, forthcoming posts:
The Trip Out West: A buddy and I took a road trip from Dayton, Ohio to California with stops in Sedalia, Missouri (to get arrested), Colorado (to visit buddies), and Las Vegas (to gamble). I also played snugglebunnies with a blonde gal at some point; well, two points in two different states. This story will start tomorrow — I don't know if it will be a daily.
An encounter with the Mad River Township Police: We didn't get arrested. I think this is the final story I have involving the police. It is certainly the last one that is the least bit funny.
Oxford, Ohio Police: Alright, this one is sort of short, and not terribly fascinating. It involves an open container and suggests that the above story was not the last in law-enforcement category.
Breaking Into a Bar: Right across from the police station in Oxford, Ohio, in March of 1983. See how mentioning one story leads to another.
The Bunch-of-Greek-Letters All-Campus Beer Chug for Muscular Dystrophy: Another Miami story.
A Big Bunch of Photos of Rural Ohio: One corn stalk may look like another corn stalk to you, but let me assure you they are each unique in their special sort of way. With my help you will learn to appreciate their uniqueness. Oh! And don't get me started on soy beans. Okay, some more photos of things I see while bicycling; I like seeing things like this on other blogs — I assume you like the same. I'll try to cycle down to Hooters one day.
My Uptightness: Despite some of the things I type, I believe I may be one of the more uptight people you'll ever run across.
Sports Stories Involving My Children: It would be a crime to not share their adorableness with the world. And let's not forget that, while What's A Delmer Look Like bears my name, it's all about you. As it should be.

Well congratulations! I don't know what I'd do without my daily dose of Delmer, so you are pretty much obligated to keep writing until I either die... or am no longer capable of reading blogs.

Riding a bike to Hooters is just like the organized ride they have to Der Dutchman (the best donuts ever). But it sounds like a plan! I look forward to the next two years, glad I can experience them twice, or more. Michelle can get the stories better since I suck at telling them when I get home.

Happy Blogiversary! Cheers for many more!

Thank you for the kind words, folks.
(I'll bet you it's a lot harder to saddle up after a trip to Hooters than it is Der Dutchman. For the guys anyway.)

Congratulations on your 2nd Blogging Anniversary Delmer. Bottle of Chardonnay or 3 to celebrate?

Congratulations on the anniversary. I added tags to my WordPress site recently and went back to some early posts.
I can relate to your comments here because I wonder whatever possessed me to even write some of those earlier entries.

Happy (belated) Blogiversary! You barely look a day over 1. ;)
Can't wait to hear the Oxford Police story. I remember one time when the cops followed me all the way up (whatever that highway is that leads from Hamilton to MU) because it was 1am and I had picked my boyfriend up from the Cincinnati airport earlier. I was tired, and probably weaving a teeny bit. They were absolutely convinced we had been drinking and, I think, sorely disappointed when there was no way to prove such a thing.
