About Me:: I have been working on my Irish ancestry for awhile. They came to Canada in 1830. I always thought he was from Derry; now I am thinking maybe he was one of the flax growers in Donegal. She was from Cork, a bit of a fiesty lady; after he died she signed her maiden name to the town record - that was long before such things were in vogue.

I sometimes get out to the ceilis. I go out to the club once in awhile to watch hurling and the GAA. ( the Rebels will get revenge next year) The Dora Keogh is the best Irish pub this side of "the water" - and I try to "keep my attendance up." No, no, no; the falling-down drunk days of my youth are long past. Now I actually enjoy my pint.

Favorite Music:: My favourite music is Celtic, naturelly, but I also like jazz, and not to be forgotten is classic. I like ANY music, as long as it's music. Head banger gives me the urg to fight

Favorite TV Shows:: I watch mostly documentaries but I do watch Heartbeat, Bally Kissangel and so forth. I read the Globe and Mail every day. Today there was an obituary about a Belgium woman who had managed to get 700 airmen back to England during the war. She was beautiful in her 1955 photo

There is one of great grandfather standing on teh wharf he been dead long b4 I was born but it still nice to have them. I thought I'd share some of teh pictures with everyone as they tell what life use to be like in Newfoundland & how much it has changed even in the last generation. As for workers comp do go there they can be a real pain I was on there for a year with a broken ankle & they do some really strange things. LOL I hope all is well with you & you get everything fixed away. Hopefully I'll catch ya later in the chat room, C
