This is done through an almost *br*: miny-parable approach to learning and instruction. Am I off *br*: base here or what? Thoughts and suggestions would be *br*: appreciated.*br*:*br*: Searles*p**br*Since the Triads are brought I am wondering if we can see the Triads posted here. One Triad per day. Not necessarily for discussion, but for education purposes. I mean Kuno Myer's book of Irish Triads is out of print (which I coonsider a crime) and the Welsh Triads could be posted here as well. One Irish Triad and one Welsh Triad could be posted daily. Granted they would have to be noted as either Irish or Welsh, but that is no biggie. :-) Thoughts?
