Jim and Jenn get back to their roots


Jim: I've learned that here. I might have learned it in Europe, but our branch became cadet when they lost an inheritance battle in the 1840s. Grrr...
No, this was not the Westphalians...


Jenn: but is it related to why we all sing songs about the polish cavalry?
(I've had this polish cavalry ditty in my head all day, just can't shake it...)


Jim: [nearly choking on his dinner...] No, but weird, because guess what--just yesterday I was all about Polish cavalry... weeeird...


Jenn: well, sure, it was saturday, of course


Jim: I know, but one might have expected on Jodphur Day that one would have offered dating advice to one's cousins in the guise of great Saxon poetry, but no, it was really a Polish Cav day, and no lie, been working hard on an article that deals with something closely related (let's call it Hungarian Cav ;-)
