Upon occasion, I have accompanied my lawyer-boss to Arraignment Court
in downtown LA on Bauchet St. (conveniently located across the street
from the Men's Central Jail) and have seen (exclusively Hispanic,
AFAICS) men with shaved heads and a loved one's name tattooed all
around the sides and back of their head. Man, that musta been painful!

My uncle had a tattoo on his forearm from WWII when he was in the
Navy. He learned to hate it. He once told me that every time he felt
like doing something stupid, he looked at that tattoo.

And my step-daughter had one on the back of her neck and spent a young
fortune to have it removed after she graduated from law school. She
said she wouldn't dare wear her hair up when she was in lawyer mode
and wearing her hair loose and long didn't look professional. Oh, and
she said *that* hurt, too.

My kids are 6 and 8 years older than Bill's elder daughter and her
2-years-younger twin sisters. All three of Bill's girls had tattoos
someplace or other and neither one of mine ever did. May have been a
window of time around 15 years ago when they became the "in" thing and
my kids just squeaked past it.

OB: I start baking the penultimate batch of cookies tomorrow: Almond
Butter Cookies. The sugar cookies get decorated and the krumkakke made
on Tuesday. Wednesday is when my kids get in from back east...I hope.
