Well, here is one for the books! I was out walking in the neighbourhood which is in a park like setting with lots of mature trees. I spotted a flag at one residence which I thought was for Italy. I thought that maybe Italy won some competition recently. Knowing Italians weren't into cricket, that I knew of, I couldn't figure out why they had that flag up.

The woman of that house happened to pop in for a visit so I asked her what was with the Italian Flag. She cleared her throat and told me it was for their relatives that will be visiting in a couple of weeks and they are from IRELAND! I Nealy fainted!!!

I could hear my father rolling over in his grave. As some of you know I am first generation Canadian. Father was born in Scotland and raised in Ireland of Irish parents and mother was born in Scotland and raised there. They both immigrated to Canada in the late 1920's.

I think a session of studying maps would do me a lot of good now that the TV is all set up.

Till next time...
