I'm Definitely in Texas

I'm currently in Georgetown. I just had a barista ask for my name, then ask me to repeat it, then create a completely new spelling.
"MADILLAN."
After YEARS of seeing the most creative efforts of the coffee industry, this 20-something-year-old still managed to impress me.

But hey, i get it. My name is quite a handful. MADELEINE MCILHERAN doesn’t exactly sound like the name of a lullaby.

Unfortunately, after having recorded this completely original name in sharpie on a plastic cup, he then thought to ask me how it was spelled.
Luckily I have this part of the usual exchange down.
"That's close enough."

(I will miss seeing the correct spelling of my name regularly.)

Have you ever noticed How most everyone now Calls that which is b eyond their comprehension  Odd- Yet we wonder why our lives seem to be surrounded by peculiarity.  "It  doesn't take a genius  to see that the  world has problems ."  "No, but it takes a  room full of morons  to think they're small enough for you to handle." - Watchmen  So much is beyond our comprehension,  Yet we seem satisfied with the 1% we have- When we don't even know if that one percent is truly out of a hundred. Or one thousand. Or one million.
