top o' the vicarious mornin' to you

I'm not Irish, and I've never been happy about it. But here I am in college, where I was frequently cast as a feisty Irish lassie:




Yes, oh well.

And now I'm married to Dave, who - though Australian - is Irish all the way on his mother's side. Which makes Finn Irish! Which makes me Irish.

P.S. See if you can spot Scott Chicken and Monkey Disaster in these photos...

Man, was I in The Shaughraun? Did I black out that entire play? 'cause I could have sworn...damn. Another fine performance as some old dude, no doubt, while Moe got to be all Shaughraunesque...

I must say, though, my favorite play of the entire Whitman experience was that one-act Tom wrote where I a) got to play your brother ('cause we look SO much alike), and b) got to slam a sixpack of Bud in like 12 minutes. Ah, those were the days...

Dude, I had to eat like 30 deviled eggs in that play. I remember that play.

You were a priest in The Shaughraun. Does that bring anything back? And remember when Sean Eagon cut himself shaving during intermission and then came out for Act II with a little mustache drawn over a band-aid without warning us he was going to do that? Nearly lost it out there.

Wail for the widdy!

And also wail for the unfortunate sideburns in that bottom photo. Hunt Holman and Morgan Murphy, is it? I guess in that show all people with alliterative names had to wear mutton chops. Good thing Doris Day wasn't in that one, she'd look ridiculous.

Tina, you are clearly the world-weary and wise Irish lassie in that bottom photo. You're saying something like, "OH, I be tellin' ye, you knew this day was for to pass," or something like that. Somehow in my mind you have become an Irish pirate.
