Technically, the "Walsh Way" came about courtesy of my aunt's husband.  Besides the fact that it's kinda catchy , we liked it because it basically summed up what we've been hearing forever from people who know us well.  "Of course you did that, you're a Walsh."  As if being a Walsh compels us to act a certain way.   And maybe it does.  It's kind of an interesting thing to think about - a family having a collective personality, to a certain extent at least.  And we're certainly a good example of that - just ask anyone who knows more than one of us.  I kind of like it though. At the very least, it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one thinks like me :)

And I'm sorry, but what's a windmill Dad?  That's a new one..
