Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Hil, is there a marriage or baptism record in Ancestry, in Maryland, for Georg Reiter and Dorothy/ea Koch? With a daughter named Sophia Dorothea Reiter, maybe? Edit: I would love any dates associated with that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes! That's him! I knew he died in the early 90s, but not that he died in England. I had no idea where he was born. Thank you!

Born to Georg Reiter and Dorothea Katharina (in various spellings) Koch, all in Baltimore: Dorothea Sophia, 27 November 1804. Catherina Louisa, 13 March 1806. Andrew Friederich, 11 February 1808. Georg Friedrich, 3 January 1810. Johan Georg, 12 December 1810. Wilhelmina Henrietta, 15 January 1813. Then there was also a Georg Reiter born 20 December 1814, and David Friedrich Reiter born 28 May 1817, but there aren't any parents listed on those records.

Hey, James Herriot lived in Thirsk. Cool.

You're welcome. I'm pretty sure his parents were Robert Cornforth and Annie M. Wright, and they married in Thirsk in 1923.

Huh. That is ... one of those things that might fix a problem or might be completely extraneous. Thank you. I'll have to look more in Ancestry at work tomorrow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm picturing pre-revolutionary Russia with a bunch of tanning salons now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If husband and I think I have a fever, but the thermometer disagrees, how many times am I allowed to retake my temperature to get the reading I want?

I mean, I don't want to have a fever, but it would be nice to have some indication that I feel this crappy because I'm actually sick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And now I am kind of wanting some kind of Chekhov/Jersey Shore mash up. Despite being largely unfamiliar with both.
