Half Irish
Wow. Half Bulgarian, eh? I'm half Irish and didn't know it until last year. The name McQuiston, I was told, came from Scotland with my forebears. That was the story until my father went to a family reunion last year and found out the boat his grandfather stepped off in Philadelphia came from Ireland. Good thing I held off on getting that "I love Scotland!" tattoo. I hope it doesn't make me a bad Irishman that I don't think Lucky Charms cereal is "magically delicious" at all. You even been to Europe yourself? My only jaunts out of the country have been brief forays into Canada, Tijuana and the Kentucky Derby infield. The rest of Kentucky's OK but I'll probably move when my contract ends in a year. I HATE moving. I'm already dreading packing up my stuff and picking up my life for what will be the eighth time in twelve years. That's why I'll probably switch from sports to news. More jobs in news. I like sports but I like having health insurance more. (Pause while I try not to stare at a women's underwear commercial on TV. Victoria's Secret is that if you have a great body whatever you cover it with will look good too.) Don't know anything about the movie "Legally Blonde." You say you sometimes let your brain take a vacation when you go to the movies? I ALWAYS let my brain take a vacation when I go to the movies. That's what they're for! Two hours when I don't care about anything but whether the guy and the girl fall in love and live happily ever after -- or at least until the credits roll. THE END. John
