well, jodi bought me a rather creative birthday present. since we've talked seriously about me doing my doctorate in scotland, she got me a sort of memento for that dream. one of the castles in scotland, dunans castle, allows people to buy a small chunk of the castle, making a buyer either a laird (lord) or lady of dunans castle. jodi got me a one foot by one foot portion of the castle (and they planted a tree in my name), so she made me a laird of dunans castle! assuming things work out and we do move there for a season of life, we'll get to spend time there; it looks beautiful. the whole operation included a sign for our door ("here lives laird duby of dunans castle"), a mug with the title written on it, and an official document that details everything!
