ArchivesRe: Max und Moritz live on....

The kid's name's Ian, middle name Patrick. Of course, it was only after his name was official that we noticed we'd given him the initials "I.P." (arrgh).
Like me, he's not prone to using middle names or initials in any case. I have offered repeatedly to pay the cost of changing the middle name if he's so inclined, but he's not. Also, he's a good fighter (thanks to tough elementary/middle schools), so teasing was not really a problem. But if I'm sometimes overly critical of people's zany name choices, it's cuz I've screwed up myself once upon a time.
Why'm I here? It's Friday, and our plant doesn't work on Fridays! (We do 4 x 10 hours Mon-Thu.) Usually I'm in transit back to here during the day, but drove in (6 hours) last night instead to pack today.
