Random confessions
For many years, I thought saying "Stamford" was just a lame way of mocking Stanford. Because you are a Cal fan, and mispronouncing Stanford's name is maybe funny for you.
I also briefly believed "gubernatorial" was maybe a mocking way to say "governatorial."
In my defense, "Berzerkly."

I only knew that Stamford was real from my reading of the Baby-Sitter's Club books, as it is the nearest major city to Stoneybrook, home of the 'sitters.
