(This isn’t really genenalogy – but it is a FAMILY story)
This past Saturday, my daughter dropped off her three oldest (ages 7, 5, and 2) for us to babysit. After playing outside for a while, the two older ones decided they wanted to watch a video – Disney’s “Three Caballeros” (Donald Duck, Joe Carrioca, and ??? – I can’t remember) – I haven’t been able to figure out why they like this so – they have seen this a dozen times over the past 18 months. Anyway, after the movie, they wanted a snack, and while they were sitting around the table, Joey, the 7 yr old, started howling. I asked what all the noise was for – he said he was pretending to be a singing mariachi. This is what you must know about Joey’s heritage: he is a combination of Irish, Lithuanian, Scots, English, Native American, Mexican … y solo Dios sabe que mas. And yes, Joey has been exposed to mariachis in live performance, so he knew what he was trying to do.

OK – enough frivolity for now.
