There are 2 Eric Machmers in this Universe, watch out!

Just messing around here…much of this blog should be prefaced with the sentiment in this quote from Dostoyevsky: “Sarcasm is the last refuge of modest & chaste souled people when the privacy of their Soul is coarsely & intrusively invaded.”
Somehow there is another Eric Machmer in existence. Fortunately he’s cool.
His girlfriend is cool too (…of course).

Ok, this is self-involved, but, after explaining how to pronounce Machmer [the same “ach” construction used in “Bach”] for my entire life I still cannot believe someone has my exact same name, and refuse to ask if he pronounces Machmer, “Mack-mer.” Please.
