And an interesting Herb and Louise you will have, no doubt, Celtic Libran busy sloth. May I shorten that to CLBS? If I had to apply that name to myself the CLBS would be the same, but it would stand for Czech Leo Busy Sloth.

'Celtic Libran busy sloth'? I know it very well, and I ain't even Irish...

What an interesting find Pat! Your post inspired me to find information about Leary; this is what I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Leary
One thing leads to another. Reading this I remembered how one of my schoolfriends who later studied psychology (early 60's) experimented (in the laboratory, under supervision) taking mescaline. She too was of Irish descent (complete with the proverbial gift of the gab) so she could give a very vivid description of her experiences. Good luck with your novel project.

I'm Welsh, myself.
OK, I agree the Irish are wonderful people and have spread all over this planet, from Dublin to Dallas they carry their stories from home and we all listen, laugh and sing. As for Danny Boy, I've only heard it sung my my high school choir. What about us Welsh? We have......ummm...ummm....um... I know we've done something, ummm.....
