Half the time I don't know what my last name is -- depends on whether I'm checking into hotel, picking up dry cleaning, at a doc appt. I'm always telling people to check under this name or that. Dystopian nightmare, Alix. I really hope you get on your flight!

I was able to get my real id only because I did go to court, years ago, when I had to legally drop my first name - I have always gone by my middle name, gave my daughter the same first and middle name, so had to legally change mine to avoid eventual id confusion. It was expensive, I had to testify in front of a judge that I wasn’t trying to escape creditors, and I will always miss being legally Alice Elliot.
