wildy/RA - My cousin and her husband moved to Oxford several years ago. She's doing a post-doc there now. It's a very neat place, I love to visit them whenever I'm over on the terrorist side of the pond.

I visited Oxford back in the summer of '79. It was a lovely place. I stayed in a very nice B&B. I also ate fish for breakfast for the very first time in my life, kippered herring. That is all.

Thanks, all. The ceremony was really nice. Each of her two children had really nice things to say.

When a bunch of us family went out for dinner that night, my other great aunt picked up the tab ($200+). Some tried to argue with her, but then she said, "I'm the last one." So, no one was going to argue with that, and we all thanked her profusely.

My grandfather had two brothers and it was the women who all survived the longest.

I found the California no fault divorce to be very handy- though that arbitrary "and a day" thing was kind of odd, yes.

Not for passing the test, you will do fine. That's for navigating DC traffic without killing or getting killed.

Since we were married under five years (just under, phew!) we got it dissolved with two signatures and a filing fee. Didn't have to go in front of a judge or anything. Easier than getting married!


Best wishes, Chuck! Bon voyage, etc.

Scared shitless is normal; I know Mrs. Puppet and I both were. Don't worry, you probably have 5+ years before your o:ff:spring paints the carpet green.
