Howdy howdy

I greeted someone from my building (not native to this country) yesterday with the phrase "howdy howdy."  He looked at me quizzically and asked me what that meant.  I paused, and it occurred to me that moment how absurd that was—I had essentially said "how do you do how do you do," and even a single "how do you do" is already archaic enough.  After the pause I just said, "er... hello hello."  He replied with a slightly confused "Uh, hi."

What's new

Sleepless in the Seattle Metro Area is the official blog of Travis Spomer.  Look for high-quality Travis Spomer merchandise coming soon.

Views expressed are my own and in no way represent my employer; this is in no way a work blog.  All postings are presented "AS IS" and confer no rights.

Names are generally changed to protect the irrelevant.  Quotes may be paraphrased.  My memory isn't good enough for "details."

Comments you submit become my property.  I can remove or mangle them if I wish, though I probably won't.
