Aimless nattering
Dad just used my full name to bellow at me to make him a cup of tea... and used my maiden name. It was kinda nice to hear it again. (This should in no way be taken as an indication that I'm sick of Steve and ripe to be run away with.) But when you have a name for 24 years that you really like, it's odd to change it. My passport and driver's license still have my maiden name 5 1/2 years later, just because I'm reluctant to give it up completely. Silly, really.
