I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with Blogger and their tables. I don't know enough about CSS to fix this annoying problem. Sorry about the choppy read these days.
My mom emailed me this morning with a piece of really cool information. One of my relatives has been tracking our family through Syria and Lebanon, and he made a pretty cool discovery: we can trace our ancestry back through the Ghassanid tribes in early Arabia. Like, third of forth century CE Arabia. The Ghassanids were a Christian tribe that swore fealty to Byzantium after migrating up to the Syria-Lebanon-Palestine area. They even had their own kingdom, until the Arabs bought off their soldiers and kicked their asses in the 8th century.
Pretty cool stuff though! Perhaps there's a story or two in there.
That's awesome. It's amazing what you can find when you trace familiar history. One of my aunts traced my father's side of the family to William the Conquerer.
