Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Contrary to what you might expect from glancing at my byline, my family is not Irish. My ancestors hailed from points east of Hibernia; the surname used to be Slavic (or maybe Russian, or Georgian? From that general region, anyway) until it was changed in order to make my clan seem more Americanized.
