\nMario Nakazawa and Jeanne Epstein are getting married tomorrow — best of luck, you two! The wedding is too far away<\/a>, so I thought I’d instead post a picture of Mario’s great-grandmother, Elisabeth (“Lisbeth”), nee<\/i> Lampert, surrounded by her spouse and children. Perhaps embarass the groom a bit. Alas, no flat-bed scanner handy, though… But trust me, Mario and Jeanne, it’s actually a great photo, with the matriarch in mid-belly-laugh, while her youngest (my mother) looks broodingly, teen-age-ishly off-camera. A foretelling of sorts (the brooding), but the gran is great, and it’s something I’ve found useful to hang on to. <\/p>\n

\nSo, welcome to the family, Jeanne — remember there’s a streak of bossy outrageous matriarchal humour embedded here, and you’re fully entitled to mine it<\/i>! (Lisbeth would definitely have approved.) Welcome, welcome, welcome, may you both live happily together, and may your derailleurs always work in synch.
