Today is Casimir Pulaski Day. This is appropriate for a few reasons. I, of course, enjoy Sufjan Stevens very much, and one of my favorite of his songs bears that titile. But more so, this past week I've been researching a bit of my family history and really getting into the Polish side of it. Yes, I am a Polack, at least 1/4, but I think it's the 1/4 of me that I like the best.... The more I've been reading about the history of Poland the more I like it. I think this is going to become a bit of an ongoing project...
In other news, my parents are coming to visit me and Colette79 early next month, and I'm really looking forward to it. Usually I have to go all the way to BC to see them, but nope, not this time. It's going to be really cool.

In the last little while, I've actually been typing up the Polish side of my family history that my Mom had handwritten before she passed away. She really got into that type of thing, she'd written down all the information she knew from my Dad's side and from her parent's side. I wish she hadn't written it in pencil though, it's really hard to read sometimes and I end up with a headache if I keep at it for too long!
