Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Nice, ND!

Congrats, Jess!

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

ND, what an honor! Awesome!

so I am not sure whether she was in a relationship, or just asked her former boss to father her child?

You should write a novel too!

I figure, if my ancestors are gonna be all scandalous, I should at least get a best-seller out of it.

Yay, Jess!

Congrats, ND!

I was a NYE whoops, no doubt about it. I asked my mother once how many children they wanted and she said (casually), "Oh, two or three." Of course, I was the youngest of three. Heh.

Hey, I've got the son of a Dutchman-Turned-Pirate/Moorish-Nobleman marrying a barmaid who was fired for being too lewd, and they scandalised New Amsterdam and were thrown out of the colony for being too vexatious.

And people say family history is boring.

Conception stories: I am so clearly a "whoops!" I was conceived 3 months after my sister was born. My mom probably didn't even realize she was fertile again. Although whenever I called myself an accident, my mom would correct me to say that I was planned but the timing was a bit of a surprise.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So apparently I'm getting an Outstanding Alumni Award from my grad school in March.

Right on! Will you be in town, or accepting in absentia?
