Ha! Just you wait. We’ll be cousins, I know it.

That reminds me! I would get the serious uggies every time I had to be in the room with a certain child molester (Murderers? Give me murderers. I am fine with them!) and I could not wash my hands enough afterward!

*your family heirlooms. No confirmed common ancestors yet (that project is on hold for now).

Sorry, AAL, but I couldn’t help but laugh at your being allergic to our family heirlooms. Back in the day, I had to defend a doctor who was sued for malpractice by a prison inmate child molester, and I would get these giant dusty handwritten motions that made no sense and made me sneeze. I was convinced that I was going to die of prison germs and used up all of the hand soap in the ladies’ every time I got one of those things, but in retrospect it was probably just a psychosomatic response to the fear.

Good times! Don’t miss it!

Only for selfish reasons (the Dearest Maude project — looking for grants to cover research/travel/archive/writing time for the book I want to turn it into) although I’ll admit, it’s not a bad skill set to have!

And you’re welcome on the book. It is really quite interesting — I had my mother and sister (obviously this was a long time ago) equally riveted by it. It’s that good.

Grant writing! Are you thinking of getting into the game? I’ve done a few – a very small few – but I have a 100% success rate so far. They were easy ones, though, so I’m not very cocky about it.

Also, thanks for the book recommendation – I’ll def. download.

I have, somewhat obliquely (and links will probably be edited later on for privacy reasons). It is so much fun and I’ve been meaning to do *something* with all the material for years. It’s so nice to finally have figured out what that means!

Have you mentioned the Dearest Maude project before? That is awesome.

Glad you salvaged your Mother’s Day. A picnic with friends and kids sounds perfect.

[...] Attorney at Large is wallowing in family – those living (the sick and hot) and dead (the Dear Maude project sounds exciting!) [...]
