My Aisling: family ties

family ties

i am always amazed at how genetics makes family ties so obvious sometimes. my g-g-grampa, stephen middleton, a mid-1800s guy from england, coal miner (of course), is pictured on the left. bounce forward an entire century (i was born in 1959), and compare our pics. you'd swear we were separated at birth.

remarkable. it is nice to know that my hairline will continue to recede.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
