    Happy St. Patrick’s Day, which is the most Irish day
    of the year, and my Dalton ancestor moved from
    Inistoge, County Kilkenny to Conception Bay Central
    here on the Avalon peninsula of Newfoundland
    in about 1750, well before the potato famine.
    Also though I consider myself to be a nondenominational
    neopagan, my dead parents were Catholic.
