Are you Irish?

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

    My beard, eyes, and translucent skin are 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…
