Pinch Me (I'm 1/6 Irish)!

For some reason, I've always wanted to be Irish, especially on St. Patrick's Day. (Then again, I always dreamed of having children with brown skin). The reality is, I'm a mix of the genes and chromosomes of generations of Everetts, McKenzies, Stallworths, Currys, Hendersons and Fannins . . . not that exciting in today's multi-ethnic, multi-cultural economy. My heritage, according to surname, is 3/6 Scottish, 2/6 English and 1/6 Irish, (my Fannin ancestors). In the vast American melting pot I'm just another WASP [white, anglo-saxon, protestant] . . . but I'm glad to be a wee bit related to the Christian this day claims to honor . . . especially since Patrick was actually born in Scotland!!
