Hey, thanks for the "ow" -- that's really all there is, you know? I'm not all torn up about this anymore, but it is kind of sad. As I was telling Hil last night, my previous self-agreement to only engage Dad at any length when a free meal at the local German restaurant was involved is starting to fall apart.

Your dad and my dad should start a club. What is UP with all the lameness of dads these days?
Your granddad with the silver fingertips, though? That's downright mythic, that is. I'm supposed to have an actual--wait for it--AUSTRIAN DRAGONSLAYER in my medieval Teutonic past, although I expect it's more like a drunk guy tripping over a dead snake. Ah, well.

Austrian dragonslayer, eh? COOL. My aunt the geneaologist was kind of disappointed to find that we generally come from cowboys and prostitutes...
