Stumbling blocks

At a recent convention for young architects I stunned the assembled crowds with my vision for modern design.

I was treading new ground with my bold and gravity-defying ambition.

There will always be those who claim it cannot be done,

but let no one doubt the seriousness of my purpose.

Aufwiedersehen man bob

Much as I loved Javier Bardem's Oscar-winning man-bob, there comes a time in a man's life when he needs a haircut.


I did freak out a little when chere maman pointed out my resemblance to Friedrich von Trapp.

But it beats looking like Keith Urban.

Plus, I like the added gravitas it lends my strides across the yard.
