Are you Irish?

A little old lady stopped me in the grocery store today just to tell me that I looked Irish.

    Yes, somewhat, some of my ancestors are from Londonderry but left long before it became the scene of Sunday. I’ve been told I look everything but: Greek, Jewish, Egyptian, Uighur, Palestinian. I wonder what my kids will look like 🙂

    Nope. A dash of Welsh is as close as I get in my blood. My wife is half Irish though…
