Most people don’t know that Vikings invented chicken wings. Early writings indicate they tasted better when the chickens were “pillaged locally.”

Is it That Obvious?
(dinner function with attorneys)
Fancy Dress Lady: “Nice to meet you. Are you also an attorney?”
Me: “Oh, God no.”
FDL: “Then what are you? A Viking?”
Me: “Only semi-professionally.”
FDL: (shocked look) “Oh my God! Are you serious right now? I was just kidding. What, do you have a viking blog or something?”
Me: “Well, actually…”
FDL: “Oh, no way! You’re killing me. What’s your blog?”
Me: “Very Vocal Viking. It’s not really about Vikings. It’s mostly just stories about funny things my kids say.”
FDL: “I will seriously check that out.”
Picture Me This
A friend from high school sent me this photo the other day. It’s a portrait of me that he painted. A painting… of me.
I am just amazed at the likeness. I really love this.
But part of me says, who am I that I deserve to have my portrait painted? What an amazing thing. Priceless.
Thanks, Ted!
