Who is Charles Andermack?
This article from today’s NYTimes seems to be confusing Charles Anderson with someone named Charles Andermack. Unless he got pranked (Chanked?), then I must say “bravo!”

I wondered about that. I wouldn’t be surprised if Chank threw a curveball.

Married name?

Yep, I think it’s a hybrid between Anderson (Chanks real last name) and Olmack (El Mack de los Toros real name)

And let’s not forget baby Max Diesel - who’s just turned 2 :-)

Yeah, that’s me.
It’s no prank.
Born Charles Anderson.
Then I got a new, married name, Charles Andermack.
Si is right, it’s a hybrid, my wife and I smashed our names together,
because we didn’t want to deal with hyphenated names.
So we just made up a new legal family name.
Everybody still calls me “Chank”.
That’s who you should make the check payable to.
Thanks.

Ah! I was thinking that a) I either feel dumb and thought Chank’s real name was something else for the past 10 years, or b) the NYT actually screwed up.
