In 2002 the family made a trip to Ireland – a long coastal ramble that ended in Dublin and a bit above. On a hot thirsty day we stumbled into a pub and found the coldest, most delicious Guinness’ ever. Enjoyed them while singing this!

Slainte!! So happy it’s St. Patricks Day! In the spirit of the Irish, keep a look out for the movie White Irish Drinkers coming out next weekend the 25th. Looks amazing! Woot Woot! Check it out! http://www.facebook.com/whiteirishdrinkersthemovie
Slainte! But why do I keep coming across people who talk about being hot in Ireland? When, oh when, are these mythical hot days? I love Ireland, but it never got hot when I was there in July. But then, I am from a very hot spot, so perhaps my temperature gauge is off. Love the Dubliners.
