Ask a DQ.
No idea who this is- ask a DQ.
Not Bobby Darin
This is all in reference to The Sandman, one of Neil Gaiman’s best works. Sandman, or Morpheus, or ‘Dream’, is part of a family, known as The Endless. They are older than gods and extremely powerful. The youngest is ‘Delirium’, but Delirium was once ‘Delight’, and the change is, perhaps, a reflection of a change in the human condition over the centuries. I won’t reveal the names of the rest of the family - in English, their common names all begin with a ‘D’…

were you the only manager whose # was retired by the Pirates?
Not Danny Murtaugh
He managed the “We are Family” Pirates in '79.
David Sedaris is a frequent guest on NPR’s ‘This American Life’, as well as the author of several collections of humourous short stories and essays. In one of his stories, he tells of his father’s ambition that every one in the family should become a jazz musician - David goes off to study guitar, but what he really wants to do is sing jingles in a Billie Holiday voice. It was funny enough to read, but when I heard him tell the story in one of the podcasts, I nearly peed - it’s a bang-on impression!
Anyway…
DQ: Are you known for your athletic accomplishments?
