Give your parents my best. <br /> Gregg, I missed you by just a minute or so when you stopped by my parents' house this past Friday night. Congratulations on your recent marriage!<br /> Chris, congratulations on all your recent success! I look forward to seeing you on a television series soon. Also, I share your sentiments on Rutgers. <br /> I was of course amused by your recent posts regarding the "Johnny Irish" stuff of the old neighborhood (which I admittedly shared in as well). I was in Ireland this summer; and while it's undoubtedly a beautiful country, I now know firsthand why our grandparents left. I'm pretty sure that the "Johnny Irish" spirit was strongest among those in our neighborhood who'd never been to Ireland before. If they had, they would have learned that actual Irish citizens would not even consider them Irish. Also, most Irish citizens (even according to my great-aunt) aren't exactly welcoming to Americans. I think they sometimes see us as rich, spoiled brats (and perhaps understandably). Finally, I don't think any Irish citizen would be at all impressed by the Notre Dame leprechaun; and Guinness is NOT the most popular beer in Ireland by a longshot.<br /> With that said, our Irish heritage has given us some great things in our lives: passion for music, literature, and the love for a good laugh. I think we can be most proud of the fact that our grandparents came from relatively little but worked to live decent lives in America.<br /> Anyway, sorry for blabbering so much. I'm so happy to hear all is well for you guys, and I wish you both continued success.<br /><br />Frank KearnsFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156275918065925282noreply@blogger.com
