47. we are the best story tellers ever.

i will die sad that i didnt get to spend the time w the old ones my older sibs did. but i rly never heard stories of home. my da told me many stories of his life, but that’s it. not even much about the rest of his family.

finally learning my history was a revelation. esp as i’m the black sheep of the family in large part cuz i’m the fighter. i think that coin has another side, tho. all those year taught a lot of ppl to keep their heads down and their mouths shut.
the guy i had working for me said the hardest part of living here is that he just isnt used to the way ppl speak their minds. i told him the problem i have w my family is that they love to talk about me, but they rarely talk to me. he said that was very irish.
he’s from clare. i’m starting to learn the geography. did 1 of those blank map things the other day. failed miserably but i did get a few right. and i was close on a lot of my misses.

my ppl are from tipparary, offaly and cork. i have a friend over there in donegal.
i need to get off my butt and get over there.
