Irish Affairs

While I don't have time this evening to look up a link, History Detectives did a show on one of my favorite people in the universe, Martin Sheen. I knew he's half Irish and had studied a year in Ireland, but I didn't know he had an ancestor who'd fought in the Civil War that broke out after partition. On Dev's side if I recall, which would mean against my own ancestors. But Martin's such a good pacifist himself that I still can't help loving the man.

Just don't forget my personal definition of 'Irish pacifist'. It dovetails with my father's favorite saying, 'Beware the wrath of a patient man.' Anyway, I'd share a pint with Martin Sheen anytime. Now, touring Ireland with him would be a dream come true!
