That is so rad! My last name is Griggs, and were descendants of the McGreggors. I don't know too much about our family history, but I've heard stories about how a long time ago we changed it to Griggs to keep our sons from being murdered. I'm not sure if it's just drunken paranoid stories from Irish relatives or if it's true. Either way it makes a nice story to listen to. One day I shall know the truth.
I'm still trying to get through A Separate Peace. It's winter break and I don't want to read. Plus I accidentally saw a spoiler to the end. I hate you Wikipedia.
