Rufus_T_Firetween: and yet you lived in Japan
Rufus_T_Firetween: interesting
Cease: my mother was so ashamed of her ukrainian heritage that she changed her maiden name after she was married. i didn't know it was possible to do that.

Cease: yeah, a long time. but got married in van so name is from her.
Buzzy and Bunny K.: sad she was ashamed. A noble cutural history
Cease: my dad changed his last name too. the family were migrants, as it were, displaced by russo-=japanese war. you;re part of my play aobut that, tween
Cease: well, people want to be other thant they are all the time
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "More coffee, warden?"
