    Date Night

    I figured I was dating a genius in reverse psychology. You don't know me as well as you think. I'd assume "Stradivarius" was the title of some Roman General :ROFL: Now click your heels three times and go back to your Weight Watchers meeting.

    There's a lot here, man. Yeah, you should ask her. I'd be curious to know.

    What country is the best to live in?

    I'll take you to the range sometime and cure you of this fear. Soon you will say your favorite country is Texas. :ROFL:

    Date Night

    My worst and shortest date on record was with this girl who couldn't appreciate John Milton's poetry due to his "misogyny." I couldn't let that one slide. Had to defend my boy. This was in the first five minutes of us sitting down together.

    Yes. And Star Trek always wins as long as it's the TNG crew. I've come to this conclusion during numerous walk-of-shame conference calls.

    My surname is Welsh in origin. I trust you, but not the rest of CC with it :P But Cotton comes from the French "de Cotin" meaning "of the Cottage." So chances are our ancestors fought with each other over some pond before they followed their love of the gospel here.

    Hmmm. There's a shot then. Bay families inter-married so much.

    Can't imagine. Those shows fascinate me because it just looks like a different planet.

    The Cottons were Norman nobility before they became Vermont peasantry :P That helps.

    Part of the reason is that Puritans were so literate. Once you hit on English New England heritage, you can go back really far. I've traced that direct line all the way back to a couple of decades after Rome fell.

    As far as I know, we're not related after American settlement, then. My folks were the Cottons of Boston (well at first). But maybe you know of something I don't! There is something special in that. I think people like you and I appreciate this rootedness because we live in such unrooted times.

    Had. Every Sunday evening, me, my then client, and a few of our buddies would go to a local dive bar. Drink and sing.
