  • Grandma Doris: I don't remember if I told you this, but last week in the New York Times, in the obituaries, there was an obituary for Doris Fleisher.
  • Me: Did you die?
  • Grandma Doris: No, I don't think so.

Great, I am an upbeat, educated Grandpa.

lisafleisher.com is probably written by a male somewhere between 51-65 years old. The writing style is academic and happy most of the time.

Obviously I can’t resist any amateur attempts at writing style analysis but this was sort of hilarious:

doree.tumblr.com is probably written by a female somewhere between 18-25 years old. The writing style is personal and happy most of the time.

I got “spiers.tumblr.com is probably written by a male somewhere between 26-35 years old. The writing style is academic and happy most of the time.”

UPDATE: Good news! The analysis came from one post that was entirely a quote of Peter Applebome’s writing in the NYT. I’m sure he’s a very nice grandpa.

Accidentally in Rhinebeck

Took what I thought would be a shortcut to my grandma’s house on Friday and landed in Rhinebeck, where Chelsea Clinton and Marc Guy-Who’s-Marrying-Chelsea got married. Never knew where the place was.
Didn’t even know where I was, until I started to see signs congratulating the couple.

From the beginning of our joy ride with legalized gambling, there was a worry that more gambling would mean more overextended suckers addicted to slots, poker tables, lotteries and roulette wheels.

Now we know it’s true — only the addicts are not necessarily day trippers on tour buses.

They are also states, like Connecticut, New Jersey and New York — and most of their neighbors — desperate for cash, averse to raising taxes and doubling down on the one business that seemed to be eternally growing until it wasn’t.

States Hooked on Gambling for Revenue, By Peter Applebome, The New York Times

“The current leadership model, it’s not it’s not that there is something inherently wrong with it. But rather that it is so ubiquitous that we tend to tune it out. We’ve heard confident leaders speak to us in confident tones on such a regular basis that we tend to not even listen anymore. So that when we are confronted with someone who appears to be more thoughtful, more reflective, even to the point of revealing some measure of uncertainty, I think it appeals to us as humans and our ears perk up. And we actually pay attention.” Youngme Moon, Havard Business School professor, on non-generic leadership, on the Brian Lehrer Show
