A video blog
This video is too long. The sound is bad in most places. I say "Mays" when I mean "May" (as in James). My hair starts out wet and goes to scattered by the wind. I chopped out the bit where I introduce lunch. You can't see the dog in the minivan. The reference to my ex-wife puzzles even me. The part where I'm suiting up in my Red White and Blue jersey is all about a crack about myself that is hard to hear. At the end I'm telling you that in the middle of a 25-mile ride you get ice cream; in cases of high wind that cut things to 15 miles you get Corona.
Mostly what is wrong is that I look so incredibly old and like I need a good moisturizer.
Oh, and I sound like a hillbilly.
It is something new and different though. Originally it was going to be my Saturday in two minutes. It became my weekend in seven minutes. And none of the gardening stuff is in there.

Hee hee! You remind me of Alton Brown for some reason. Which is cool, because I think he's awesome!

How cute are you? I loved this!

a) Diane is correct, you totally remind me of Alton Brown with a little bit of "House" mixed in /growl ;)
b) Tori is correct, you are a cutie.
c) You know what they say about small hands...
...small gloves. ;)

This is oddly strange, and yet very funny.

Definitely agree on the extra crispy hashbrowns - I usually can't eat them because they're soggy.
And how did I not notice your pretty eyes in Philly? You're all Clark Kent and then SHAZAM! The glasses come off! (Yes, I know I just mixed superhero references there.)

I agree with Diane, you DO resemble Alton Brown. Are you going to give us a recipe too? hehehe.
What's the difference between 'old' and 'incredibly old'? Or is this something a youngin' like me can't comprehend?

Diane: I was hoping Alton Brown might be one of the new American Gladiators (which would, of course, suggest you need to get your glasses checked) ... but I guess a cooking show host is OK too.
RadioActiveGirl: I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to do.
Ginger: I remember a T-Shirt from high school -- a guy we called Mas was wearing it: Security is having big breasts and a boyfriend with small hands. I'm not sure how it fits in this thread; I was just reminded of it.
Missy: A lot of my life is like that. Oddly strange and yet sort of funny.
Jenny: The eyes thing is a serious compliment coming from someone noted for her Blue Steel looks. (And I like your ability to give DC and Marvel equal mention.)
Sue: At your age I'm thinking "30" would be old. Thirty one and up is "incredibly old."

You crack me up!

P.S.....

Thank you

I have no idea who Alton Brown is, do know who Hugh Laurie is (knew him from the Black Adder/Wooster days prior to all the HOUSE stuff) so I can kinda sorta see the Hugh Laurie thing but without the rampant uhm, misanthropic bent.
Funny on the Superman - Captain Marvel reference but yeah, I too was struck by the SHAZAM of you without your glasses. Whoof. Not that I want to fixate on the assorted parts I saw but you have nice hands, great humor (you speak like you write!) and did you say, "Sissy boy" at the end in the very noisy bar?
Your voice matches you and I'm not sure if you need moisturizer. I know what you mean about thinking you look "incredibly old." I think you're only a few years older than I so if you look "incredibly old" in female years I'd be entering my cronitude. There's some kinda 1-3 Male-Female age differential when it comes to attractiveness/beauty. Or maybe 1 - 2.5.
Anyway, I loved your Slice O' Delmer Life! That thing with the Postal Truck..bwahahaha!

Greeneyezz: I do have my humor moments (sometimes).
MsQ: I think women age better than men so you will always be much younger looking than your chronological age.
And I did say 'sissy boy' at the end of the video -- it was windy that day and I was making fun of my lack of desire to ride in the wind.

Haha. Great little tour. I dig your place Delmer. : )

You're in the minority with thinking that women age better than men. But maybe it's regional. Older men do seem to be thought of as more attractive than women their own age.
In my case i have the "Chinese Thing" going for me as well as the "Petite Thing" so people do think I look younger than 43.
I haven't been tracking your "status" but if you're not dating anyone my guess is that it has nothing to do with your looks - you got it going on.

John: Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.
MsQ: I didn't want to appear, oh ... whatever it would be, but I was going to mention that Asian women seem to age rather well.

Yeah, I know that mentioning race/age/gender can be tricky!
I noticed that you like to slide by any mentions of your not-hot-like-a-furnace hotness. Must be the "pshaw" in you.
