Boanerges commented on Terry McKenna's blog post Did Any Of This Really Happen?"I learned from Red what it was like a) to be an Anglo-Irish immigrant at a parochial elementary school b) have an accent and clothing that marked her and her sisters out for ridicule c) wanting to blend in ASAP (wasn't going to happen with that…"
Boanerges commented on Boanerges's blog post Remembering the Old North Woodsman"He'd probably have been embarrassed, to tell the truth, FM. We didn't get on very well when I was young (and stupid). And I agree about carrying our loved ones with us. I think it's a tradition in Mexico (and please correct me,…"
