Hi again, All My Cousins (maybe we could start our own soap opera!!):

The Bissets in my family are all short, too, like Bev's. Isn't that
strange? My grandfather was only about 5'6" and his sisters were about 5'3"
or 5'4". My mother is about 5' and I'm 5'1-1/2" when I am standing
straight! I've seen a picture of Great Granny Bisset and she's short and
plump. Longevity isn't that great - late 80's. How about coloring? The
Scottish side is all dark brown, except me. My father was platinum when he
was 12 (the Norwegian) so I have light brown, but my grandfather and mother
had dark brown hair and hazel to brown eyes. I used to have blue eyes but
now they are more bluey-green. Actually, tonight they are bluey-green-very
reddish, because I went out to play darts last night and didn't get home
until 1:45 a.m. and tonight it was 11:00 p.m. after playing darts, and I'm
tired. Hey, I saw Titanic today - it's an awesome picture. Everyone go see
it. It lasts 3 hours and 15 minutes, but you think you've only been sitting
there for 10 minutes.

Anyone else interested in telling how the genes came out?? I think this is
kind of fun.
