Because of genealogical information I've put out on the Internet, I've heard from relatives I didn't know I had. Most recently there was Cousin Gail from Chicago last summer, and just this weekend, Cousin Natascha from Vienna.
One I don't figure to hear from is Cousin Elizabeth from England. Since she is by the Grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith, I imagine she's too busy to bother with a twenty-second cousin in America. And today she is celebrating 60 years on the job, which is kind of weird since it forces her to celebrate the day her father died.
If QEII can last another 3 years and 216 days, she will surpass Queen Victoria as the longest reigning British monarch. I hope she makes it.
Congratulations, Cuz.
