Well, I don't pay close attention these these things. I know I heard something about Common Law Marriage going away in Pennsylvania. I may have just heard a news story about the court case you're referring to. No biggie. Lisa and I will probably be moving out of state as soon as I finish my Masters so we'll have to deal with a whole new set of laws somewhere :) But how do I end up starting these odd digressions? -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
