Oz ,'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My great-grandfather's first cousin was the first person in NJ convicted under Prohibition.
When I googled, I discovered my great-grandfather was killed by Jewish mafia - maybe our great-grandfathers knew each other...though not to, like, hang out or anything.
Hey now, let's not get any blood feuds going up in here.

Easy for you to say-- my great-great-grandfather didn't look at your great-great-grandfather funny.
By the way, I apologize to anyone who had relatives in Baltimore, Ireland, when my many times great-grandfather Murat Reis invaded in the 1600s and dragged off most of the population to Morocco to be sold as slaves. (I honestly do feel just a bit weird about it and would not mention the connection if I ever found myself in Baltimore, Ireland.)

I've been to Baltimore, Ireland! It's beautiful, and a port town on the southernmost tip, so probably ideal for enslavinating Corsairs.
I do really want to go to Rabat, Morocco, and see the old quarter of Salee, where the Salee Rovers sailed from and where Murat Reis, ne Jan Jansen of Harleem of the Netherlands, ended up an Admiral of the Sultan's Fleet.
Timelies all!
No family stories here about Prohibition.(Or other major events, alas)
John Barrowman has joined a period Shonda Rhimes show.
My manager has pushed my performance review from 3 to 4.
I have a portfolio review at 6:30.
The CIO wants me to do something I find incomprehensible, and I hate being the one that doesn't get it in the email chain.
Oy.
This seriously needs to stop happening in 2011.
I talked to Trudy Booth today, and her wonderful dog Dallas had to be put to sleep yesterday. She was 18 or 19, and was in a whole lot of pain.
And now my Mom just called me to tell me that my sister's GSD mix Ricky was also put to sleep this morning. He was 11. You could see from the picture taken that he was getting on in years.
Both were really, really good dogs, and were loved by their people, and everyone is very distraught over their losses.
