Could be a relative. I met a Gyllenhaal a few years ago (dad of a classmate of my son's), and he turned out to be a second cousin or something like that. And the former editor of the paper I work for is Jake's uncle.
Sason:
He sure is a relative, although distant.
Gyllenhaal is a noble dynasty, and they're all related.
Anders Leonard Gyllenhaal emigrated to the States in 1866, and Jake and Maggie are his great great grandchildren.

I was driving home from Chicago about a week ago, through rural Illinois, and I came upon a passage of road with freshly laid blacktop. With the fresh blacktop in the foreground and the long stretches of green fields and blue sky in the background, I was reminded of the pavement-spreading scene.
Suddenly I passed a sign that said "Uneven Pavement." As a Brokie, of course my first thought was that the sign contained some deeper message than simply a warning about the highway surface. I considered the possibility that it was telling me something about my life.
I didn't come up with a really solid interpretation, but I thought it was interesting -- it's so Brokieish to scrutinize a mundane highway sign for larger hidden meanings.
Front-Ranger:
I hear you friend. That reminds me of Ennis's question about "when you go out on the pavement and the people look at you like they all know." That statement spoke so clearly of Ennis's desire to have rocks and soil under his feet again so he could feel at ease.
A strange sign I encountered in Britain last year was "Changed Priorities Ahead". Now that is quite a deep statement!!
