Further evidence

Sometimes the comments to my blogs are more interesting than the actual blogs themselves. A couple of days ago, I had found a website which depicted what I have come to understand is the coat of arms for our Baynham family. I downloaded a picture of the arms and wrote a little piece in which I explained that my position as a lawyer might be genetic, since the arms clearly showed three bull heads on the shield, with a large bull head above. I also referred to the fact that my father was a salesman for further genetic proof of my family business.

To this, my loving sister made a small comment in which she sarcastically referred to the difficulty she was having in responding to my blog. To this, I take further evidence of the bull flowing through my family. For example, Sister Susan works in marketing and she married a salesman.

At this point, with the exception of the multiple farmers in my family tree who raised cattle over the years, it appears that only my brother Frank has a legitimate profession, which doesn't rely on bull_____. The exception that proves the rule or simply a misunderstanding as to what is involved in his job? Perhaps Frank can fill us in with some details.

Speaking of confessions, Frank provided a possible clue in response to my blog of yesterday in which I spoke about finding a Gator head decal on my license plate. In response to the blog, he commented, "I know who did it."

That certainly narrows it down to Frank or Maggie or Lily. I can't see Kevin buying Florida stickers. My bet is Maggie or Lily.
