OK, Melissa, to shift the subject to something a bit lighter -- I have to
ask how you knew that it was Paul Shaffer's brother-in-law. Given that this
isnt something that would be on his voter id card and that brothers-in-law
rarely share last names (and Shaffer isn't exactly a rare name), all of the
ways I can think of that it would have come up either have you being a
crazy stalker or him being a total tool ("Hi random lady, guess which B-list
celebrity I am related to by marriage?"), or, I suppose, both. Is there a
decent story here?
