I can agree with you on that Murph46!
Irish on both sides - I am an atheist, but I do not drink to excess any more, I can sing, I am always friendly, I will fight at the drop of a hat, I am told I am charming, and I am renowned as a storyteller. Considering my mother's Irish ancestor (Teague MacQuillen) came to America in 1632 and my father's Irish ancestors just after the 1690 Battle of the Boyne our Irishness has endured quite well, thank you.
If your lucky enough to BE IRISH ,your lucky enough.Irish by God,American by birth. Now someone dare tell me I'm not Irish!
