Sunday afternoon. Mother's day. And my in-box is empty.
What does one do ?
One finds answers to all the silly and inconsequential questions that have piled up in the handy note book next to the computer.
Like who was Queen Margaret of Scotland, princess of Denmark ?
She was the daughter of Christian 1 of Denmark and married, at the age of thirteen James the 3rd of Scotland. See? Now we all know a bunch more about the now defunct royal family of Scotland.
And another burning question.
When exactly did Bombay cease to be Bombay and become Mumbai ?
And the answer is 1996.
Another useless bit of information.
So now I can go back and check my email and see if anybody has taken pity on me and mailed me something............anything........even spam.
