    Alden and Glenda, does this mean you are landed gentry?! Titled? 

    I heard your story from a tour guide! Not at the Tower, but on one
    of  those double-decker tour buses. I really enjoyed the tour
    guide's stories  and asked him a lot of questions. The fact that he
    resembled Pierce  Brosnan had absolutely nothing to do with it ;) 

    The true City of London is a small area which the bus meandered in
    and out  of. Every entrance to the City was marked with a coat of
    arms and London's  motto: "Domine dirige nos". Pierce didn't know
    what the Latin meant (yes,  I asked). 

    (I tried to noodle it out myself. "Domine" is obviously God and
    "dirige"  looked a bit like the word dirigible, but "God is our
    hot-air balloon"  didn't sound a likely motto for an historic city.)
