AN APOLOGY

I have been humbled, and to make it even more embarrassing, twas by J.S. a friend of my (Arkansas of all places) cousin Jim. As I understand it, J.S. is a sibling of Vince Young.

J.S. wrote: "not being a blogger I was JUST interested enough to give it a try. much to my amazement, buried somewhere in the bowels of some out of date notice of some obscure Irish Football (what ever THAT is)game,"

Virgils Response: It’s no wonder you were confused. It was hurling-not football, as any dolt would know. I made a rookie mistake. My apologies to you, Joe Connolly, John Keane, John Power, Setanta, Mick Mackey (who's brother David is a close friend of mine), D.J. Carey, Thad Quil and the rest of the literate world. I have corrected the mistake.

J.S. continues: I, JUST-by-chance, opened a link about someone name Virgil, I find this DUDE, who seems to have lived for over 300 years and survived at least two murderous kings, has something called a "tag board", whatever THAT is...

Virgils Response: It was my ancestor Fergus, not I, who lived for over 300 years. The tagboard is a place where people could leave unattached messages, but it had too many popups so we changed it to a sister blog. We may rename it.

J.S. Continues: Hell I'm tired already, but ON I go anyway to find a posting of some Ancient Ruins of 'his' ancestors. That are some bozillian miles from Scotland and actually in Beaver Lake and were built by some nutcase that would be a better President than some we've seen of late. Hmmmm.

Virgils Response: Where then is Beaver Lake? England? Ireland? I also have ancestors from Germany, France, Switzerland, Mongolia, Japan, China, Kush and Punt. Is it one of them?

J.S. Continues: Is that you driving an '06 Pilot EX-L in dessert rock?

Virgils Response: I don’t know, but I thank you for your correction, painful as it is.
