| Everyone thinks it's original when they say, "Do you know your last name sounds like catnip?" "NO WAY!  I've never heard that before.  Ever.  Really." At some point I stopped fighting it and embraced the oddity that is my own last name and my dad was kind enough to lend a "Jr." on the end to really smooth it out.  I think my ancestral peeps are Swedish.  At least they weren't tree-huggers or something equally emasculating.
