I’ll drink a Smithwick’s to that! Happy you’ve redefined your purpose. Hope we can keep up with movie reviews as well and maybe continued political / social topics-of-the-day.
Ireland….boy I’d sure like to visit there someday……

YP — I know, I’ve been a bad, bad goddess — and I missed your question entirely! My apologies. Yes, that Guiness sign was outside Vaughn’s pub in Kilfenora — well spotted. The pub was recommended by an Irish co-worker; he said it served as a location for the late, great “Father Ted.” We were sitting outside having a pint on a gorgeous late afternoon, and a woman leaned out the door of a house right across the street from the pub and shouted, “Martin, your tea’s on!” An old guy came running out of the pub and into the house. My friend (the big guy in the photos) sighed into his pint and said, “I want to live here.”

Ah yes, the big three. I must confess that I am not a big Twitter fan, I update only once a week or so (as Spinneret), and my updates are protected. For some reason, it doesn’t weird me out for a stranger to read my blog, but I have no idea why that same stranger would want to read my Twitter updates. Facebook has been great for finding long-lost friends.

Okay then Goddess! I am waiting! What with Twitter, Facebook, your blog etc.. I am surprised you have any time left for just living! And you still haven’t answered my question about Vaughan’s pub in Kilfenora.
