What Accent?

What were you doing in 2000? Probably just being an asshole, not contributing to society in any way, I'm guessing.

Me, I took a little hand-held (as opposed to, I suppose, a foot-held) tape recorder and went up to Lowell, Mass to sit down with my aunts and grandmother to get whatever of a family history I could get out of them. I got 6 hours on tape of them yammering, and I'm just now transferring it all to digital. As I go through them all, I may post some nuggets here along the way.

I've always said that before anyone dies, they should get to hear my Aunt Pat talk. So here she is, with some assistance from my Aunt Eileen.

And yes, fellas - they're single!
