I have been remiss

It occurred to me like a bolt from the blue this afternoon that I never actually have blogged about The Half Norwegian (on the mother's side) American Bar Association. How this august group has avoided mention here before is beyond me. Do enjoy the speeches and overall silliness, and consider full or associate membership. The eligibility requirements are nothing if not flexible -- even if they do slide my gender quills inexorably toward the fully upright and locked position ("lawyers' wives, judges' mistresses, or deposed prime ministers of obscure nations...").

(How does one who primarily is Sicilian on the mother's side even know of such an organization? A favorite colleague at the firm who is Italian -- on the father's side -- has the distinction of being a past president.)

[later] Egads, it's come to this: hat blogging!!
