I don't know. Can I claim the Rothschilds?

Must have gotten disinherited along there somewhere, damnit.

My Dad said a bunch of people with our family name might be black, but I don't think anyone has done the research and he doesn't know if we are related to them. They may have just picked up the name.

His mother, would have had a cow; or did.

Fortunately, admirably, he repressed those instructions.

I know next to nothing.

Except I have my mother's date book, where she meets and courts my dad during the war. Gawd, that is awesome. She was little miss date. Date date date date date date. Four dates per weekend and one each evening was not unusual; but apparently wasn't that unusual during the war anyway. Lots of dancing and plays and go heres and theres.

It was a horse race to get her, and I bet some of the horseys got tired.

It's like it needs a soundtrack from Santa Anita.

It's funny you said Tradescantia. Speaking of wandering Jews, I have people assume I'm Jewish. I spose I "look" it.

But I don't look like anyone in photos I've seen going bkwds. They don't look like me at all.

Rabbi Woodpile, perhaps.
