One for Sorrow

I've always thought I might have been an Andrew, as I was born on St Andrew's Day, and the family really weren't prepared for a boy. On the other hand, they might have held off Andrew as it was my cousin's first name even though he was always known in the family by his second name (which he rejected, reverting to Andrew as soon as he left home to go to University). Which is where the A in my pen name comes from.
