...Happy St. Patrick's Day.
I have a little bit of an attachment to the day: my father was born in Belfast, but emigrated to Canada when he was 22 years old. However, I've felt more of an attachment to Scotland, as my father's birthplace seems more of an aberration; the rest of my paternal line was born and raised in Scotland. Plus, my full name is crammed with four Scottish names (the maximum legal limit, I believe).
Speaking of names, I was looking up the origins of "Colin" and found that my name has increased in popularity by almost 60% since I came into the world. Damn you, Farrell, Firth, and Powell.

What's between the first and last names?
PS. How's the history of golf? Still in a box somewheres?
