Boundaries, what won't you talk about? Nothing. I'm an open book.

I remember when mom used my middle name, I knew I was in deep trouble.

Maddie added the Duchess, which I adore. Two sisters call me Donut. Balder calls me pudgebear, and of course there's Nani. Hmm, maybe I should be called Sybil.

You are the precocious Dutchess

Being careful about who you talk with, on what subjects helps keep the peace

Delete1. The more terrifying government authorities such as the IRS, SSA, DMV, Jury Commissioner know me as William. I am Will Jay here on the interwebs. I have been known as Billy or Willy as a child, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses and my mother referred to me as Wee Willie when I was born (note: anyone who referred to me by that name is dead - let that be a lesson for you).
ReplyDelete2. I prefer to consider myself a Mid-Century Modern Man. It is both chronologically accurate and is considered both vintage and fashionable. Palm Springs has a week devoted to it.

Will Jay
For a few years my office was right around the corner from the White House, I remarked to a federal insider that they probably have a file on me, his response was "there is not much in it." Yes the IRS knows you well.
Delete#1 - Bruce. #2 - Old. #3 - Arizona. #4 - Depends on who I'm talking with. #5 - Married to Judy, aka She Who Must Be Obeyed. We have both outlived our parents and all of our siblings. That MUST mean my answer to Question 2 is correct.
ReplyDeleteHappy wife, happy life.

ReplyDelete2: Do you consider yourself, young, middle aged, old, or antique? I still feel like a 10 year old in an aging aching body. I don't really consider myself anything other than "still alive", but I am OK if people call me old, aged, senior, etc.
3: Where do you live? Upstate New York, 30 minutes from the Capital in Albany.
