Thanks.
Due to my love of beer I typically think of.myself as Irish/Celtic. But always wonder about my Lithuanian background. I despise my Portuguese background due to my mean and abusive grandfather who walked out on my grandmother.

I do miss St Basils... BTW... The few times I visited there I finally felt home. The baptism I witnessed there was one of my top 3 spiritual experiences. The other two were visiting Jerusalem on whim and being confirmed by bishop in my RC parish as a teen.
