Just found out I'm related to...

[crponies]

Barack Obama! According to Facebook he is my fourth cousin once removed. I must say I find this quite funny but I can't help wondering if it really is true. Well, I mean, I realize we are all related through Adam and Eve and further down the line Noah and his wife, but this would make me even more closely related to him.

There was a thing on the news about a company doing this as an April Fool's Joke.

I'm a distant relation to Doc Holliday. That's the quality of the folk that makes up my family tree.

Hey Lowrise -

Val Kilmer was awesome in Tombstone.

Speaking of Doc, I met a close descendant of Wyatt Earp in Prescott, AZ. He even shared the same name. He was playing the part in a dinner show about Wyatt Earp in the old West that we went to for my eighteenth birthday. The resemblance was incredible.

Val Kilmer does play my favorite portrayal of him.

I would love to go to some of these old west towns and dig around for some history. What a cool experience, mininik!

My son's name is Wyatt! Fell in love with Kurt Russell's playing the role and my heart was sent on an old name!

My mom used to know some Daltons back then, I think she said one of them was a brother to the Dalton Gang!!

My mom's shih-tzu dog is named "Belle Starr" after the famous Female Gunfighter!!!
