Today's puzzle takes us to Minnesota. Growing up in the 1970's with the name "Jennifer," there were always a lot of identically named girls around, and sometimes it made sense to use nicknames to differentiate. I never really had a preference in nicknames so I ended up being called different things by different people, and that persists today. To most people I'm strictly "Jennifer," but to a few I'm "Jen." My freshman room-mate dubbed me "Jen Jen" and there one teacher who referred to me as "Sam" (there were 3 Jennifer's in the class so he got a little creative). And there are a small number who use the name my mother always called me:
Jenny
