Thoughts on the Day

  • Probate court is not a happy place.
  • Tonight I go to bed with the name I was born with for the first time in 30 years.  It feels good.
    • I was impressed that the judge could pronounce my name on the first try.
  • For the first time in years, I went to a courthouse and wasn’t asked if I was a lawyer.
    • I was, however, asked if I worked there.
    • I was wearing a pair of black cotton slacks and a long sleeve, white, button-down shirt.  I guess that screams “I’m not a criminal”.
  • It takes the shine off the day a tad when you have to interact with both of your ex-wives.
  • Boo spent the evening drawing hieroglyphs on the driveway in chalk.  I’m not sure if he was summoning or putting up protections, but I’m keeping the shotgun handy.
    • Something about chaos, sight, and water.

    Basically, when I was 13, my mother remarried. I was… asked to start using my new stepfather’s name, and I did. Two quick school changes later, and the only thing that had my real name was my birth certificate. I’ve been using it ever since. By the time I realized how messed up that was, I had a wife, a child, and a security clearance.

    It just seemed like the right time to do this.
