When did you verify the address with the clerk? Was that within the 30 days? When you did so, did the clerk mention their 30 day policy? (I'm assuming not.) Perhaps you could add that a) you are only 6 days past the 30 day mark and b) you did contact them within 30 days but they failed to advise you of their policy and that you, reasonable person that you are, relied on them to tell you any relevant information.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If we have another boy, Joe likes the name Zachary.
Though I would note that there are gross tons of Zacks in the little league world so it's a pretty common name in the elementary school cohort.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Stephanie, none of it was within the 30 days. I only called the office for the first time today.

Now, I'm counting on flea to tell us how common it is. Yeah, I like the name, and Joe's dad's middle name is the Spanish version, but I'm not sure that's what we ultimately would choose (assuming that we have another baby and that it's a boy).
eta: Bummer, Aimee. I mean, it sounds like something they made up on the spot so they wouldn't have to deal with you. I would still complain and send your letter.

Our wings are not tired.
Question for Mad Men lovers. GF and I have a weekly girls night where we drink wine and complain about our teenage boys while watching a television show or movie. We have watched Lost together for years, but the season just ended and we need a new girl's night show. We are polar opposites. She is a Brooklyn girl with a potty mouth, loves boxing and rap music. Her entertainment shows are reality stuff on MTV, Gray's, and um other stuff I don't watch.
Neither of us have seen Mad Men and it looks on the surface like something we both might enjoy. Thoughts from those in the know?

Those kids are now 15, so I guess they were passing out of LL a few years ago.

Laura, I say Yes. Mad Men is awesome.

The show is uniformly excellent. Fantastic writing, great performances, scrumptious production. S1 was very good, and S2 was even better. Fun to watch with drinks.
The only complaints I've heard are from people who (a) can't abide the oh-so-realistic depictions of sexism and racism of that era and (b) people who find the characters unlikeable.
I think (a) is a virtue of the show and I like the complexity of (b). I think the show is very engaging and thought provoking but can also be enjoyed just on the narrative level. It isn't always light, though.
