In an effort to get in touch with my (perhaps more distant than I'm willing to admit) Celtic heritage, I'm trying to learn some Irish Gaelic in a project for my AP Brit Lit class. On the way, I'll teach you, my devoted and limited audience, a few terms, and maybe a bit of culture or history here and there. Slainte!

The Most Terrifying Thing in the South...
And it's not Pepsi! Before I get to the title, I'll update the three people reading this on how I'm doing. Like many things in the Irish culture (why do I belittle my own people?), I feel like I'm progressing slowly but surely. Finding time in my hectic schedule to study this is a little difficult at times, but I feel like I do make progress when I do. So, back to the title. For those of ya'll in the Metro area (so everyone reading this), you know that after all the rain today, tomorrow will be our first taste of real fall weather, with highs in the low 60s and lows in the 40s. So, in light of this horrifying cold weather, this week's lesson is Tá sé fuar amuigh (tah shay foo-ar amwee) which means "It is cold outside". Stay warm, and slainte!
