Hi, this is Jakecrumbs giving you a little background on the author of this blog. A John Wayne role is his namesake, in the movie “Big Jake.” He’s never seen it, and so can’t rightly judge his feelings about his parents’ decision. One definition of “jake” as a slang word meaning “alright; satisfactory” does reflect his personality. However, the second denotation, “a bootleg liquor made from or infused with jamaica ginger, especially during Prohibition,” may be misleading. He does crosswords obsessively–at least one a day–but considers the addiction to be a good one. Here’s to a daily dosage of Alzheimer’s-prevention! He also practices Ashtanga yoga daily and has been for almost a year now. He is currently an undergraduate studying English and Russian and has aspirations for pursuing more degrees. That’s all!
