A-O-A-O! That's How to Spell Garofalo!


I realized at some point today that I had misspelled Janeane Garofalo's name. Her first name I got right somehow, though it's a brainteaser in its own way. But I was not near a computer and was powerless to correct my Garofalo. Needless to say, it was all I could think about during the faculty meeting. Don't worry! I've fixed it now. A good trick, in case you need to spell Garofalo, is to remember A-O-A-O. That's how the vowels go. Very symmetrical, and I'm ashamed to have blown it. At least I can still spell David Strathairn at the drop of a hat. I've got that going for me. (Why doesn't the picture have anything to do with Janeane Garofalo? Because that's the way the "blog" is now!)
