Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. Douglas Adams, "Last Chance to See"

Happy St. Pat's
Ahh, St. Patrick's Day. So dear in the hearts of my grandmas that I wouldn't dare let it pass without honoring my heritage (Newnam, O'Connor, and Stack, all of the Emerald Isle). This day more than any other I meditatate on the vagaries of fate that brought me to exist here in the ol' U.S. of A., and the people that came before me. We don't know a lot about our family, I am sure that the Mormons know more. But I know that there is a mish mash of peoples in there, and so yesterday I read this which put it all in a whole new perspective. My great-great-great-great etc grandpa was Ceasar. Frickin cool!
