What Is So Endearing About this Guy???

I don't really understand why I'm in love with this geriatric blogger on YouTube, but I so am. For one, his handle is Geriatric1927 (makes him 79!), he's got the cutest English accent, and he confirms that "Yes, I am as old as I look."

I don't really know what Tuesday with Morrie was about, but I envision it to be a bit like this. He video-blogs about his time in the military ("when they de-mobilze you, they kitted you out with a new set of clothes....including a Trillby hat...I wish I had it now, it would be so kitsch, in present terminology 'cool"'), motorcycling, among just general things that have happened in his long life. Its just adorable that this sharp-as-a-tack ex-academic ("I got letters after my name which I never never used....") is into YouTube and wants to share his story.

You could pick up some letters after your name at Friends of Charles Darwin.

People you know have already done it. Check out FCD number 260.
