Mary,

For the record, this above didn't come from me.  I have never taken the least exception to your tipping methods.

Besides, I have decided that the Paul Krugman who writes the economic op ed stuff for the Times is either your ex or your ex-brother in law, and I would imagine that one student of The Dismal Science would be more than enough in any family.

So whoever you are, lay off Missy Julep.
