When asked about my heritage, I usually reply that I am a pure breed mongrel.

I am an adopted Irish.

Also adopted Italian, Sicilian and Florentine. Adopted Illeneh, of the Mississippi Nation. And a sliver of several cultures by virtue of involvement. On my Special Other, I will say by marriage, Scot, Irish, Welsh, English, and a bunch of others.

By birth I am Alsatian. Half Ukrainian, half Mordvin, by parentage.

Ergo mongrel.

In my mind, heritage is part and parcel of who we are to ourselves. It is within us.

I was in a group tour of the Republic and Northern Ireland in '19. Gorgeous countryside, friendly people. Our guide was a hurler in his youth. Hurling's like hockey on grass - without pads. https://youtu.be/RrjJ6xSsqwE

I spent a week playing some of the renowned golf courses along the south west coast. Old Head was spectacular. Did the Cliffs of Moher - magnificent!
