   Whoa. I was going to begin a post with お酒の上の話, but luckily pushed that through Google Translate first. Fun fact: this phrase does NOT mean "talk about alcohol."

     @kotaro Like my late uncle's declaration to his future wife that he was a cattle-ranching magnate in Nevada. Or his future wife's story about owning a string of oil wells in Texas. (True story.)

     @kotaro Needless to say, it was not a happy marriage, and it ended in divorce. But it is one of my favorite family stories, of equal value to me as descent from combatants at Sekigahara is to others. We're a strange and complex species.
