My wife was first a posslq.  We married four years ago with little fanfare
and agreed that she should no more become Ms. Silverstein than I should
change to Mr. Carlton.  There have been surprisingly FEW problems; we
are quite used to explaining the situation as required before any confusion
arises.  It's mostly how you feel about it yourselves, that is, how you
can handle the occasional mistakes and misunderstandings that inevitably
happen.

Of course, naming the kids brings up new and wonderful dilemnas.  We've
settled on using my last name; don't know yet if that'll cause problems
later.  (As you can see, hyphenation was out of the question...)
