Good craic.

We've been cleaning the house getting prepared for cribbage tonight. I've vacuumed, washed the floors and will have to run out pretty soon and get some ice. And I still need to get at the family room. ■ Holly's telling me that I've got to run for ice now! ■ It's 12:35 am - way too late for me. In fact I can't believe I'm up this late! Had a good cribbage night. And no, we didn't play cribbage, but instead talked all night long catching up with our friends. Good "craic" - Irish, as I understand it, for good conversation and good fun. ■ When I came back upstairs to go to bed and to first put a finish to this blog posting, I noticed that the picture, or conglomeration of pictures on this blog posting almost looked like a flag - but with the stars out of place. So, I recombined it - what do you think? Does the one below look a little more "flag-like"? I never thought of it before. Hmmm . . . . ■ We had corned beef and cabbage for cribbage dinner tonight. It was delicious. Holly also bought two cases of Smithwicks - a fine Irish beer. Delicious. ■ Oh, the cribbage folks liked my book. Their homes actually lead-off the book, as they are some of our oldest friends. Now I have to put in an order for 3 more copies. ■ Well, lots to do tomorrow. I''ve been working on an Ireland video for Holly to take to work and I've got to finish that so she can take it to work on Monday. ■
