Hyphenated

[maxw]

I'm now having second thoughts about saddling my daughter with a hyphenated last name, the rather unwieldy "Comisky-West". And, if I'm honest with myself, I knew it all along -- I was just being insecure. "Brigid Comisky" is much more, umm, wieldy, but I was so afraid that if we didn't share (at least partially) the same last name, then I'd be somehow less connected to her, at least from the point of view of an external observer.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't turn out to be too much of an inconvenience for her.
