I am really excited about the Celtic tales. I already know some about some of their folklore, so I am looking forward to becoming better educated on that subject matter.

I also have some Celtic lineage, so it will be a chance to learn of my ancestral culture.

Introduction of an I/O Psych major

Percy grabs the closest rock to him and takes real careful aim. He closes one eye and raises his thumb to be in line with his target, then he closed his other eye, adjusted his aim a bit, and then hurled the rock with full force through the air. Percy, with both eyes still shut, asks “did I hit em”. Both Al and Ray were in bewilderment, for not only did Percy hit a mouse, he managed to strike down two with a single blow. Al and Ray cheered at the site of the two mice struck down by Percy’s rock. Al said to Percy “you are the champion of rock throwing, the greatest marksman in all the land”. Ray laughed as soon as he heard that and chimed in himself “Percy, greatest marksman in all the land, he who can strike down two great beasts with a single blow”. Both Al and Ray were cracking up at this
