	Oh Barb, sad faces. <3 I grew up with a made-up surname - by my grandad - dad’s dad. It was a fairly common name where we lived and I found out after asking dad several times were we related to that one or the other. In the end he must have got tired of me asking because he told me that we would not be related to anyone with that surname as it was not our real name. :-D

	Has he backed off a little as he won’t use force for Greenland. NATO troops have gone in so really he’d be fighting against allies if he sent US troops to Denmark. Anyway, I wonder whether some of those who have gone in under the NATO banner are US-born?
