My uncle Desi was the sort of man who gave up his youth reluctantly, for it was a youth spent on the sort of pursuits that might occupy a young man with a sense of adventure. He backpacked through Europe, climbed mountains, and rode a dead cool motorcycle -- he was the sort of uncle that could tell stories of hunting warthogs in Africa, skydiving

I think every Filipino person I know has an Uncle (or someone claiming to be an Uncle) who's perpetually Peter Pan.

Ours happily goes by the moniker of "Uncle Dave" (as in Bowie) even though:

1) He's not related to us.
2) His name isn't Dave.
3) He looks nothing like David Bowie, except for the hair.

ah, but the question is: what kind of David Bowie hair?

These two, when put together

Best comment ever, damnit.

Now I'm all distracted.
